PXI 2570

Hi

I am currently using LAbiew 7.1 to measure the debounce time response of various products by closing a relay across the DUT switch contacts.
I have a PXI 2570 relay card and have written a VI which accepts a relay number and the close time.

However I am using the software millisecond timer which sometimes does not accurately activate the relay for the time specified.
I presume Windows is getting in the way as say I close a relay for 50ms, most of the time its accurate but occasionally it expands to 60 or 70ms.

Is there any facility on this card to accurately close the relay for a specified time repeatedly ?

Attached is my VI



Thanks.

Hi Mike,

I guess what you are looking for is scanning. Try to have a look at the examples in LabVIEW and have a look at the following Developer Zone article:
