labview programming for pci cards

[vijay shankar]

Hi all, 

I need to write a program  in labview that communicates with a pci dio 96 card.

I need to set a bit to 1 (0th port and 5th bit) periodically..

how can I communicate with the pci card from the labview..

is there any driver that we can use for this..

Thanks,

Vijay

I don't quite understand the problem since your earlier posts indicate that you've been using the DIO-96 and have installed the traditional driver for it. Either DAQmx or the traditional driver can be used but you should use DAQmx.

Thanks Dennis,

Actually I dont think I have any drivers installed.. Because, I used the tap test interface in MAX to find that I have to trigger the 5th line of 0th port of a pci dio 96 card to trigger my device.

 I have downloaded and installed Daqmx that suits my labview version and started exploring the options.

Now, I am struggling hard to figure out how to change my requirement that I have mentioned above into an actual program in labview.

All I have is a pci dio 96 card installed, labview 8.2 and daqmx that supports my labview version. I have to make one of the lines to 1 and 0 alternatively.

Can anyone point to a tutorial or some discussion that could help me kick start.

Thank you,

VJ

Search in the examples\DAQmx\Digital folder inside your LabVIEW installation. There are several examples that should give you enough hints at how to go about that. And if you ever get at other problems there are many many more directories in that example folder. :

And an example finder to help you look for the right examples can be found in the Help menu.
