I dont understand the manual

[Halif]

Hi,

I was wondering if the Scanclk,extstrobe,pfi0 and many more excluding DI0 to DI7 is consider as a digital signal since it has a reference to DGND in Ni6013 User Manual pg 4-3.


If it is yes,considering that it has a output, can I config it as a �1� or �0� like Di0.For example I need PF10 to be 1 to activate to a output digital hardware.
From what I read, TRIG 1 is used to activate with a high transition and if this true, am I able to use it as �1� or �0�.

Question:
How do I have Labview to read my analog input from PCI-6013?

Goal: To have a analog input to the labview and show a waveform in the labview.
Tried: I try using DAQ wizard solution but I cant find my hardware except PCM-something.

I create a virtual channel
in the MAX and call it 555 timer.

Do you have any link to a tutorial that I access concerning this. There are tons of tutorial here and I wondering if u know any exact ones.


Thanks,

Halif,

The PFI lines on the board, when used as outputs, can't be controlled like the board's DIO lines. You are unable to set their logic levels in software. Each PFI line has a specific internal signal that it is able to output (start trigger, scan clock, etc.).

With regards to a tutorial, I would suggest that you examine the follow document:

LabVIEW Measurements Manual 

I would also suggest that you examine the examples available in LabVIEW. You should begin with the following analog input example:

Examples >> Hardware Input & Output >> Traditional DAQ >> Analog Input >> General >> Cont Acq&Chart (buffered).vi

Good luck wit
h your application.
