Can you perform simultaneous timed digital input and output using a PCI-6120?

Is it possible to do simultaneous timed digital input and output using a PCI-6120? It seems that timed digital operations require using the group read/write commands, which utilize an entire port. Since the PCI-6120 has only 1 digital I/O port, I would like to be able to use 2 lines as outputs and 1 line as input, and do both in a deterministic fashion. i.e. create a digital signal with known pulse widths and read an input line at a known time after the outputs were set. Is this possible to do with only one digital I/O port?

Hello,

This can be done in LabVIEW. There is actually an example that installs with NI-DAQ.

Below is a link to a Knowledge Base that explains how to find the correlated digital I/O examples.

Just take a look at the example titled �Continuous CDIO with external clock (E).vi�
