digital pulse generation with NI 9263

Solved!
Go to solution

I am trying to generate a square pulse with an NI 9263.  I am testing latching solenoids, and need a fairly accurate amplitude and pulsewidth.  I tried with the VI in the picture.  My goal is 32ms +/-1ms.  This VI produced a pulse anywhere from 25.5ms to 36ms.  I passed the same waveform into a DAQ assistant and it was 32.2ms every time, but the size of the VI tripled.  How can I achieve the same results using the LV primatives?

Create it with the daq assistant and then right click on it and select open front panel. It will complain about the vi being converted, just say OK. This action turn the express vi into a normal vi that you can analyze and modify.

That is awesome Mike!  Thanks for the tip.  The VI that it converted to is about 2/3 the size of the assistant.  And it is a great tutorial.  The LV code actually looks better than some of the examples included with LabVIEW.
