I need to read data from a temperature sensor into labview. I do not know how to configure the daq assistant to be able to read this digital data. Also, the temperature sensor will not read until it is told to do so. Therefore LabView must tell it when to read.
What I have done so far is I selected the Daq Assistant and selected Digital I/O, and then selected input port (this will be the port that will be sending the digital temperature readings). For acquisition mode I selected 1 sample (on demand) because the temperature sensor will not send a reading until it is told to do so, this is the problem, it is not only an input it is also and output, how can you set the port as input and output at the same time. I also have to select another Digital I/O which will be the clock output (I would like Labview to generate the clock for the temperature sensor, but I am not sure how to do that either).
I would appreciate any help I could get on this.
