I'm trying to control a system using a NI6008 DAQ. I need to be able to output a digital signal to control 8 bits of a port. I can write a decimal signal to do this e.g. '5' would write '101' to the port. I want to use boolean switches to control each individual bit. So far i can produce and display a binary value using these switches but i cannot control the system with this value. How could i do this?
Also, I'm reading an analogue value from the device. I'm inputting 5V but i seem to be reading between -1.4 and 0.2 V - any suggestions?!?!?
thanks, Tom
