any way to change NI9219 mode programmatically??

[Nandagopal]

Hi,

I want to Change the mode (ie from voltage to current or RTD etc) of the NI 9219 universal input module programmatically. Is there any way to do it??

Also wondering how LV project window caputures this info from us and process it... 

Thanks,

Nanda

Do you mean to do this with a cRIO platform? You can do so in this fashion.

Vaibhav,

While the interface certainly implies that changing the mode is possible, unfortunately only range changes within the deployed mode are possible for the 9219.  You can expect an error from the property node if your code attempts to change the mode of a 9219 channel.

See this thread for a similar discussion, http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=280&thread.id=7828&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

Sorry for the confusion,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for making this clear. Looks like a lot of us are interpreting the property node the wrong way 🙂

As an update to this, with LabVIEW 2010 and NI-RIO 3.5.1 it is now possible to change the 9219 mode programatically.  Other changes, like specialty digital mode and digital line direction are also possible.
