6259 Switch digital input to output

[Aad_D]

Hello All,

I'm using the NI PXI-6259. One of the digital inputs I want to switch to digital output, send a serial code and switch it back again to a digital input.

Does someone has experience with this kind of configuration change during the execution of the VI program.

Thanks,

Basically you have to clear the task that had it as an input, create another DAQmx task with the channel configured as an output, run this task, clear it, create the task with the channel configured as an input.

If you need tight timing with the switching, I would not recommend this board.  You might need to change to a RIO board with LabVIEW FPGA.
