Writing Digital Outputs in USB-6002

[LelandDurrette]

Trying to understand how to use Tasks and Channels to write Discrete outputs. I see where a Task encapsulates operations and information, and that one or more channels are created and assigned to a Task.

How do I write to a single bit in a Port?

In the example code it looks like a channel with 28 lines is created, and all lines are written at once.

Do I need to create a separate Task for each line?

Documentation refers to having multiple channels in a task, and that each channel can have a name that is referenced in calls to other functions. I can see how to create a name for channels, but not how to reference individual channels by name in a WriteDigital function.

Thanks in advance!

If you only want to write to one line/port at a time, then each line/port should be put into its own task.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The more I played with it, the more obvious that became. Just didn't understand the concept of creating multiple channels within a single task if I couldn't read/write the channels. It must be that the functions are made generic so that individual functions can handle many different situations.

Thanks again, and thanks for not berating a person asking a simple question.
