Hi,
I am trying to test my pxi6515 digital io and i cant get it to output a voltage in the SCB100A terminal (P7.0 and P7.1) I am operating it through NI Max, Vcc is connected to 24V (pin 96) and ground to P7.GND (pin 97), . The digital input tests fine in NI Max.
Does anyone have an idea what the issue could be? Any settings i need to change? The pin numbers seem to be correct.
Cheerio, Peter

Hola Peter,
All the 32 output lines form the 9515 are sinking, this means that you wont see a voltage at its output when it is turnned ON because it provides you with a path to ground.
With sinking outputs you should wire the +24Vdc to the device and the ground from the device to the output pin of the digital io card.
Of course I don't know how you connected the circuit, i'm just guessing
Hope this helps.
Saludos.

Hi Antoniooh,
i feal really stupid now. I copied the wrong sectino of the manual, the one for the 9514 (sourcing). So thank you big time for answering even a stupid question.
