Best way to drive DIO signals from Signal Express

[TimRsandiego]

I just bought a USB-6008 DAQ, and am wondering what is the best way to drive digital output signals from it while acquiring the AI inputs through Signal Express.  Any examples out there?

Hello,

The best to way drive digital outputs while acquiring analog inputs is to create two steps in Signal Express. Each step will execute relatively at the same time but there is no way to correlate or synchronize DIO with AI on a 6008 because DIO on that device is software timed while AI is hardware timed. Below is the 'Getting Started with Signal Express' manual which can aid in creating an AI and DIO step. Also, if you need additional examples later, they are located in the Help->Open Examples.
