Having trouble using SCXI-1163R with DaqMx - looking for an example.

[wedge87t]

We currently use the 1163R as a traditional device just fine but when I try to use it as a DaqMx device I can't get it to switch any of the lines by accepting a 32 1d array of boolean. Any ideas or examples?

thanks!

Hi Mike,

Are you attempting to do scanning with the SCXI-1163R? Are you using an example? Please elaborate more on this issue and I'll respond with information that is more helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

If you are trying to send a bit pattern to the 1163R with DAQmx, you can use the VI called Write Dig Port. This example demonstrates how to write values to a digital output port in DAQmx.

In LabVIEW, if you go to Help->Find Examples...

Browse to Hardware Input and Output->DAQmx->Digital Generation->Write Dig Port.vi.

Let me know if this is what you were looking for!
