Daqmx digital output signal with VB.net Button

[MarkusKrug]

Hi I´m new with Measurement Studio for Visual Studio.

I have done some projects with VB.net 2010.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First my Hardware and Software:

PC with Win7 SP1 professionell

Visual Studio 2010 SP1

4 weeks Testversion Measurement Studio 2012 professionell

NIDAQ 9.5.5

cDAQ 9178 with NI 9477 (DO) and NI 9425 (DI)

I created in MAX 2 NI-DAQmx Tasks.

6 DO Channles from 9477 Modul

5 DI Channels from 9425 Modul.

I have already created  a NI Windows Form Application Project with new Item NI DAQ Component.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I want to turn on a DO channel through Visual Studio and Measurement Studio with a Button control or  Switch control.

If this DO channel is switched,  a DI Channel turn on a Measurement Studio LED control.

I have no idea how to begin. Could someone give me jump start?

all the best

Markus

Hi Markus,

thank you for using the National Instruments Forum.

There are great resources helping you getting started with Measurement Studio. Many examples ship with Measurement Studio.

Have a look at your Windows Start Menu. In the National Instruments / Measurement Studio folder there is a folder ".NET Examples". The .NET Examples include a Visual Basic project for DAQmx Digital IO.

Also, have a look at the Getting Started document in the Measurement Studio Start Menu folder.

Before you start with programming your DIO task in VB please learn some basics about NI-DAQmx.
