I am testing circuit boards by supplying voltage to various spots on the board and then checking those the voltage at those spots using a digital input module. I have my program set up using just line inputs which I thought was effective until I started error testing my program. I realized the way I have it setup with line inputs instead of port inputs if there happens to be a short somewhere on the board causing voltage to go somewhere where it shouldnt that should be checked and identified. So my question is how do you properly set up the port input on the module??? I am kind of confused because the properties menu of the module just shows 31 leds which stand for the 31 possible inputs but I dont know how to activate and control these leds. I have like 28 inputs in my program that need to be checked at the same time to make sure there is no short anywhere...if you are still confused let me know and I will try to clear this up a little more, thanks!
When you acquire data, do you want it on-demand or do you want it triggered by another event? Your choices may be limited depending on the card you have.

I might check out the example called "Read Dig Port." This shows you how to read a port from any module you specify. You can then output that port as an array of booleans, which seems to be something that you are trying to do.
