phidgets relay connection

Hi! I have connect phidget to LabVIEW. I am trying to activate the relays using LabVIEW so that I cna hear the clicking sound to make sure that the relays are activated. However I am not sure how to conncet to the relay. Attached is my attemp to make the LabVIEW to activate the relays. It is not working. I think the out port. vi might not be the right object to activate the relays. I will really appreciate your suggestions and help.

 

Thanks,

 

Samia.

Do you have the relay board connected directly to a parallel port???? Aren't those Phidget things USB? I think you are off base.

Just look it up. Neat devices! Anyway, since they use Automation (as shown in your VI), there will be a proprietary property node to set the relays. Did you look at the LabVIEW samples on their website? How did you get the idea to use the PORT VI's anyway? 

 

edit: and did you install their drivers? (COM).
