Tristate a 6509 channel programatically

[ScotH]

I am trying to programatically tristate a PXI-6509 output channel using the DaqSystem.TristateOutputTerminal Method described in NI-DAQmx .NET Framework 2.0 Help  and attached below.

Can you tell me what the Output terminal string should be?  I tried "/dev1/Port11/Line0" but that did not work.

Sets a terminal to high-impedance state.

ScotH,

This is likely due to the fact that the 6509 is port-configurable, rather than line-configurable. For your channel string, try "Dev1/Port11/Line0:7." If this does not help, let us know what you mean by "that did not work." Did DAQmx return an error? Was the terminal not in a high impedance state?

Hope this helps,
