usb-6212 digital out not working

In MAX, I setup a three-bit field on digital I/O pins.

I followed this process:
1.  Opened Data Neighborhood.
2.  Opened NI-DAQms Tasks.
3.  Right-clicked NI-DAQms Tasks and selected Create New NI-DAQms Task...
4.  Selected Generate Signals
5.  Selected Digital Output
6.  Selected Line Output
7.  Selected port0/line1 through port0/line3 by Ctrl-clicking the selections
8.  Selected Next
9.  Entered a name for the bit field/task
10.  Selected Next.  MAX displays a window showing radio buttons for the three bits.
11.  Selected Run and exercised the radio buttons.
12.  With a DMM set to Vdc, I see no change on pins 45, 46, or 47 with respect to pin 48 or 43.

Any ideas?

kc64,

I would try to route a digital output line externally to an input line and check to see if the card is actually putting the digital output high.  First make the physical connection and then run a test panel on the card and see if the input changes correspondingly with the output.  If this fails, try other channels to see if the same behavior occurs.  If this test passes, it implies that something could be wrong with your DMM or DC Voltage Measurement setup.  I would also check if the DMM reads a known source correctly as well.  Let me know if there are still problems after testing.
