Simulating inputs on PCI-6527

[kovalenkov]

Hello!

I have a question regarding PCI-6527 board simulatuion. Is it possible to simulate inputs of the device, when the application is written with Visual C++? How?
I have installed the latest DAQmx driver (8.2 I believe) and I have created simulated device.

Thank you for your replies.

Sorry about the impropriate thread in the worng section. My mistake. Can moderators please move this thread to Digital I/O section? Thank you.

Just go ahead and repost it to the Digital I/O section.  No harm done

Hi kovalenkov,

Actually, if you have already simulated the device, the "hard part" is done.  DAQmx should have given the simulated device a name (such as "DevX"), and you can just call that name in your code as you would call a real device.  The inputs to the device are already simulated for you.  So, for example, if you were to call an analog read function, it simulates a sine wave input based on any timing information you give it.

Thanks,

Justin M.

ps - I agree this should be in the Digital I/O section.  If you would like to reply, just start a new thread in Digital I/O, and post a link to that thread here.
