Im using a pxi system whitch includes a PXI-6515 DIO & PXI-8431 Serial Interface.
 
Can you tell me what is the best way to read from these modules and use it in my software"LabView"

Hi Mahmoud,

The examples that ship with LabVIEW and the DAQmx drivers are very detailed and comprehensive in demonstrating how you can use the cards. To get to the Example Finder, start LabVIEW and go to Help > Find Examples.

When the Example Finder is loaded, make sure you are browsing by Task.

For DIO programming:
Browse to Hardware Input and Output > DAQmx > Digital Measurement. There are some example VIs there. Make sure that you look through the Requirements list to see that the example works with the PXI-6515.

You can also refer to these links to learn more about programming in DAQmx:

For Serial programming:
Browse to Hardware Input and Output > Serial
You will find that most of the example VIs there can be used with the PXI-8431.

Hope that helps get you off the ground!
