Hello,
I have a project where I am trying to log water pressure for a given amount of time for roughly 36 different locations. I was given four USB-6501 digital I/Os but from everything I have found on it I don't believe these will work. Could someone point me in the direction of a device that could potentially work?
I have also been trying to develop a program in labview and DAQexpress to do this but neither want to recognize any of the 6501s ports even after using the Measurement and Automation Explorer to get a few set up. I just mostly want to see if my program works. What I have done is hooked up a switch between P0.0 and ground and am trying to log the number of times it opens and closes in a certain amount of time with a time and date stamp just to see if the program works correctly in that sense.
Any and all recommendations are welcome, and thank you in advance.

It is sounding like you actually want a counter input task. The USB-6501 does have 1 counter available by using P2.7. It can count the falling edges.
