I am struggling to control a SSR module from Signal Express.
The setup is a cDAQ9188 chassis and NI9485 8ch SSR module switching a 10v supply.
I have a DAQmx Gen - Digital line output set to control the NI9485 and if I toggle the value to write in the configuration tab between high and low the SSR does function.
What I cant seem to get to work is controlling the output from a toggle switch in the Operator interface, I have been into the switch bound parameters and selected the module and port.
This is my first time with NI software/hardware so I am guessing I am missing something obvious, if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Most everything about the Operator mode is for user control of "set up" parameters and not direct control of devices. If you want to be clever with operator mode to control a device, then try creating a project loop which uses the "software trigger" and connect that trigger to your device.

Ah I see. Thank you, I will give that a go.
