Can the PXIe-6341 drive solid state relays?

You are only supplying a single channel in the DAQmx Channel when the example is set up to handle 8.  Use P0.0:7 for your channel (with the device name in there too).  The 0:7 says to use the range of channels.

Thanks

Are you suggesting that I put this in a format like the following?

PXI8::0::INSTR/P0.0:7

That should work.

Thanks but I keep getting an error...

It does not like the colons so I changed it like in the attachment but this doesn't work either.

My PXIe-6341 device is named "Dev1" in the NIMax so I changed the previous task from a drop down list

to the following constant

Dev1/P1.0:7         Is  this correct?

Here is the error that I am getting and attached is a screen shot of my code and my vi.

Error -200170 occurred at DAQmx Create Channel (DO-Digital Output).vi:6970001

Possible reason(s):

Physical channel specified does not exist on this device.

Refer to the documentation for channels available on this device.

Device: Dev1
Physical Channel Name: P0.0

Task Name: _unnamedTask<A>

Thank you

Ok, I got my naming messed up.  Now I'm questioning which modules I saw the dot notation on....

Anyways, your channel is actually Dev1/port0/line0:7.

Thanks crossrulz

Do you know if I can substitute the I/O DEV1/port0/line0:7 with a string?

I have a few radio buttons that I would like to use to toggle one line at a time
and I am thinking of connecting these to a case structure.

I'm pretty sure you can.  Go ahead and try it and see what happens.
