Driving EXTSTROBE by software

[ElbaTech]

Hi everybody,
I cannot find the NI-DAQ function which allows me to drive the EXTSTROBE signal on a PCI-6024E board. Although the user manual says that this signal can be driven by software, how to achieve the objective ?
Thanks in advance,
Marco Sartore

Hi Marco,

The explanation in the user manual is not complete concerning how you may control the EXTSTROBE signal through software. This functionality is not available in LabVIEW or NI-DAQ. This signal is used for controlling a SCXI chassis, and it is not a general-purpose signal. If you want to use/control this signal, you will have to perform register-level programming.

Check out a Knowledge Base concerning this signal and a link to register-level programming resources here.

regards,
