digital output to BNC-2110

Hello,

I am using example LabVIEW 8.5 code to try to send a digital pulse (0-1-0) to my BNC-2110 connector block. The system is a PXI chasis with an m-series 6289 input/output card.

 

I can't seem to find the digital pulse on my BNC-2110!

 

I know this is a silly problem, but could someone tell me where to look? Attached is a picture of my BNC-2110 and code.

 

Thank you,

Frenk

Hi Frenk,

 

According to the code you sent the digital output you are using is the Port1/Line0. On the device it is under the header Trigger/Counters with the name PFI0/P1.0

Oh, I was looking under the wrong place, as I thought it would appear in the wire connectors above (Digital and Timing I/O).

Thank you. Much appreciated.

 

Could you give me an example of how I would change the digital output to be say PFI 1 in the Digital I/O connector block?

 

Thank you,

Frenk

Just specify the correct line number. It's marked on the connector so I don't understand your confusion.

Hello,

My confusion is with the labelling of the BNC-2110 connector block. Perhaps some of the labels are covered by the wire connector block.

 

For example, if I wanted the wire connector in the "Digital and Timing I/O" connector area that has "PFI 1/P1." to its left, would I specify the Digital Output as "Dev1/port1/line1"?

 

(I assume this as my current specification is "Dev1/port1/line0" and I have learned in these postings that led to the BNC connector labelled "PFI 0/P1.0" )

 

 

Thank you for the final clarification,

Frenk

Since the manual clearly shows the labels, you should have no confusion unless you refuse to read the documentation. Yes, you just need to specify line 1.
