How can I send high to a specific FIO port of Labjack U3-LV

[concacid]

Hi,

So I am writing a program to send high to a port on the labjack when a condition is met. So far I have read the documentation from Labjack and I am sure I can write the condition program but because I am relativelynew to this, I dont know how I can send high to a port on the labjack when the condition has been met. Like for example, when the V=1.2, send high to FIO2 (to switch on a relay)

Any help/pointer will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi concacid,

What signal are you reading that serves as the condition in your application? Are you using one of the other ports on the U3-LV (i.e. reading from one port and conditionally writing to another)?

Finally a reply! Thanks

I am reading a low voltage signal from the same port and writing to same. If I configure to high output, I dont know if I will be able to still read the voltage anymore but I want both to be simultaneous since the voltage threshold is what determines the condition of switching. What can I do?

Thank you

It looks like LabJack has several LabVIEW examples offered on their website--I'd recommend taking a look there for some insight on how to read and write from the U3-LV ports. It seems that they offer Read and Write functions similar to LabVIEW's DAQmx functions, so I would think that your application would consist of a write function inside a case structure, which is only called when the read function returns the desired voltage.
