Switch as control and indicator

[kenypatel]

Dennis,

Your idea is much better then mine. Thank you for sharing it. I do understand binary and hex so actually your idea will be much easier to implement. 

I was thinking that I could have a control for 4 lines (0000-1111) just so it would be easier to read rather then 1 big binary number like you said. However even in 4 numeric controls, how would I split apart the binary numbers individually so I can send them to different DAQ writes?

You would want to join the numbers and use a single DAQmx Write.

You could use an array of toggle switches for a more graphical representation.  You would be "physically" flipping bits.
