daqmx simulated digital input

[DennisW]

I'm having trouble using the simulated digital input feature.

I create a simulated digital input in MAX - a simulated NI PCI-6534, single channel, port 0/line 0, acquisition mode is 1 Sample (On Demand)

When I click the "run" button I see the indicator flash on and off as I would expect.

However, when I bring this task in to LbView, I can't get the indicator to flash no matter what I've tried.

No doubt I've missed some basic concept. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

(VI attached).

Hello DennisW

We cannot reproduce the issue since you are referecing a task configured in MAX and you just sent a VI.

However, if your task is working in MAX, you could use a DAQ assistant in LabVIEW using the same configuration as in MAX.

Using the DAQ Assistant to Automatically Generate LabVIEW Code

But I did give the steps I took to create the simulated digitial input - NI PCI-6534, single channel, port 0/line 0, acquisition mode is 1 Sample (On Demand)
It should take just a few clicks in MAX to create it.
I don't understand why it would work differently than using the DAQmx assistant, since the set-up is the same.

Using LabView 2014 32-bit, DAQmx 14.0 on Windows 7 64-bit.

You do not have N channels, you have 1 channel.  Use the appropriate DAQmx Read version.

OK, tried that, no difference

Try starting the task explicitly before the loop (and clearing the task after the loop):

This worked for me ...

Makes sense! Works too.

Thanx!
