turn on solid state relay

My first Digital Out. USB-6210.

I want to turn on a solid state realy using  a DO line. Once turned on, it shall remain on until turned off.

I did DAQ Assist > Generate Signal > Digital Output > Line Output > DO 0 > 1 sample on demand.

I made a boolean constant, set to True, and connected it to DAQ Assistant Data, expecting it would output 5 V signal . I get a bad wire. What did I do wrong? Thanks.

Hi knowlittle,

 

This is happening because the DAQ assistant is expecting an array of booleans as opposed to a single boolean.

 

If you place an array constant (Programming-> Array-> Array Constant) and then put the boolean in there, it should fix the broken error wire.

 

Let me know if you are still having problems!
