Sending a signal to 1 of 2 different pins on a DAQ device

I am trying to make a VI that simply sends a digital signal to 1 of 2 pins on my DAQ device. Is there an easier way to differenciate between the two pins then using two different virtual channels?

Do you realize that your "0" case can never execute? An important point to take from Adnan's example is that the VI doesn't continuously apply a signal to a line.

Here you go in 8.6. Also, please note to read two lines you will have something like this in the channel constant: Dev1/port0/line0:1

Yes, an extra event would be needed to handle the stop case. Sorry I built it up really quick.

 

Alok, there is a difference between using an event structure and simply running a while loop. That should help you understand why he wrote that.

thanks for reply Adnan,

i know the difference between simply running a while loop and using event structure ( though i am pretty new to labview), 

ok i have to admit that while writing this post i think i got the point.

Thanks again...................
