CWDIO - group 2 ports

[Curt_C]

I posted this on the DIO board, but didn't get a response.

I'm using VB and CW 6.0 with a PCI-96 dio card.
How do I set 2 8 bit ports to work as 1 16 bit output?

When specifying the channel string either in the DO ActiveX control or through the .ChannelString property, just select both ports. For example, to group ports 0 and 1 together, type in 0,1.

Let me know if this is not working for you.

I'm using the DIO object. I just want to send a
16 bit word value to a port, not generate a waveform.
I've have tried to use the channelstring property.
I also tried using the Named Channels using the
Data Neighborhood in NI-Max, but neither lets me
group 2 ports together.
I checked the user manual but I couldn't find any info
stating I could or couldn't group 2 ports on the DIO-96

Any help would be appreciated.
