automatic controlling of the binary outputs

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!

Hi molo511,

to help you with your request I need some further information.
What kind of data do you want to put out? Is it only a single bit or a string of bits?
Do you want to provide the same data at every chanal?
What LabVIEW Version do you use?

Kind regards

hi, thanks for replying!
I want to control all the 12 digital outputs, so I think I will use a string of bits to do it.
I am using LabVIEW 8.20 now.
