I think this example VI will show me how to manage I/O to the 8 digital I/O lines I have in my DAQpad. Sadly the code seems to be available only in LabView 6 and I'm still in LV 5.1.1. Is this vi available in an older format? Thanks,
Try digging through the example programs already on your machine. Launch LabVIEW >> help >> search examples >> data acquisition >> digital input/output >> ....
LabVIEWguru is right. There are many improvements made to LabVIEW since 5.1.1. You can learn about the new features at www.ni.com/upgrade
