USB 6008 for giving digital output

[Marko1982]

Hi All,

I was wondering does anyone have an example of an exercise using USB 6008 to give a digital output from a basic VI in Labview.

I am very new to using the USB 6008 AND DAQ Assistant and so far I have got it reading a temperature, next step is I want the USB 6008 to give a  +5v output when the temperature reaches a certain value, I have built a Labview 2009 VI for reading the temperature but now I am stuck on this bit.

Any help is appreciated! or if there are any examples of lab exercises that exist that I can maybe learn from either.

Try to search online on NI's website for 'digital output daq' or have a look at the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples..) that contain examples for Digital Output. IF you are not able to find anything, post your VI here and we can help out. You should be able to find some example though.

Hi Adnan,

I will have another look although I have checked already and unfortunately I cannot get any info on how to do it step by step!

Thank you for your input though!

Hi Marko

Please have a look at the below link which has some interesting and intuitive videos of using the USB-6008 and how to configure the device for several applications in LabVIEW. Please have a look at these step by step videos and let me know how you get on.They can be found under the 'Virtual Demos' tab.

Hi!

Thanks for that, I will have a look at them over the next couple of days and give my feedback!

Thanks again!

I did ask you to post your VI. And, be sure to let us know what you searched for so I have an idea of the resources you have looked at.

Hi Adnan,

Yes I have looked at the link above that David provided, then under the virtual demos tab I found exactly what I needed. It was just the basic function of a digital alarm under a certain analog input condition. I also found another item on PID control which I think I will need in a couple of months...

Thanks again for the help, as usual the NI forums are very useful!

Happy new year!
