How do I setup communcations to a non NI board?

[RJF]

The board is installed in the computer.
With Basic it is just an out command "out 770,128" to configure and control the card. The board is a Cyberresearch CYDIO24H. Thank-you Bob

In Functions > Advanced > Port I/O palette you can find "In Port" and "Out Port" functions. I think this is what you are looking for. If you are using Win NT/2000 you need something more (find details in "Port and Memory Utilities for Windows" [http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzoneweb.nsf/opendoc?openagent&2851D0A06E3185BC8625683A000AC730&cat=034E59A8530E09DF862568900018707A] )

Good Luck!

Most digital i/o boards are driven by various peeks/pokes to their registers
(the manufacturers literature should/will detail these).

Search the NI developer zone - some kind person may have already written a
driver for it.

If you need to write your own driver use the out port and in port vi's
included under the advanced/memory menu. Note however that these will not
work with NT based operating systems (win 2000,nt,xp etc..)- you'll need to
find a library of vi's called 'accesshw' from the developer zone and use
these instead. They basically use a dll to call the low level registers.

Hope this helps
