hello,
I want to write an application to control the binary output on DAQ6024E. With this application, the user should be able to set the course of the binary outputs, for example, after 3 seconds the output 0 should be on, after 4 seconds the output 5 should be on... The user's setting should be saved in a file. With this file, the binary outputs can be automatically controlled.
Now I have two ideas to do this:
1. Use a table (for instance an excel table), in this table the time is saved in the first column, and the column 2-13 are used to save the state of the 12 binary outputs. This table works as an lookup table. The LabVIEW program reads the table in a certain time interval, and sets the outputs according to the content of the table.
2. Only save the time point, at which the state of the outputs are changed. I don't know which file format I should use here, and I have no idea about how to save the data.
Has anybody done similar applications before? How did you do it? please give me some ideas. Thanks a lot!
