NI 9481

[NickIke1]

Hello, 

I am trying to use a NI 9481 relay module to turn a light on and off.  How can this be done using Daq Assistant?  I simply want to program a boolean switch to open and close the circuit.

Thanks!

Start with NI-MAX!

It provides testpanels - and you can easily test your NI9481 to switch a relay.

Afterwards you can create a DAQmx task from your settings and use that task in your VI. I recommend to learn basic DAQmx functions instead of relying on that (dreaded) DAQAssistent ExpressVI!
