generating a digital clock signal in labview for the NI 9403

[yamifalco]

Hello, I am working on a school project which requires the use of Labveiw which I am not very familiar with. Right now I need to create a digital clock singal which i can output using the NI 9403. The 9403 does not have any timing so I would need a software based clock. New hardware is not an option for me and I hope someone can help me with this step.

Thank you in advance

Hi yamifalco,

the NI9403 is just a cRIO module. What kind of chassis do you use with it?

Depending on the chassis you could use either DAQmx functions or you have to use LabVIEW RT.

You should also note some more specifications of your "clock signal": pulse rate/frequency is the most important one…

I am using the NI 9181 chasis and at this point, the frequency and pulse rate i dont think matter yet. They will once i have a signal. Right now I would just like to start off being able to create a continuous signal of alternating zero's and ones, which to my understanding is a clock signal.

I've also had trouble using the daq assist for continuous signals because i believe this is what i will need my clock for.

Have you tried looking in the Help->Find Examples to find an example already built to do something like this?

Check the Hardware Input and Output->DAQmx->Digital Output folder.  I'm pretty sure there's some continuous examples in there.

There are some but the only one that works for my hardware is not
