I am using LabVIEW to program a system that interfaces through a mccdaq(web tc). I am wondering how I can (through code) turn on and off an LED with the push of a button. I am able to use the DoutBit VI in order to make the LED blink with a push of a button, but not stay on. I have tried using Dout instead of DoutBit, but I am being told that my port is configured for an alarm. (Which it’s not).
I was able to figure this out on my own. I needed to configure the channel within LabVIEW and send the outgoing port to my Dout. Then I was able to send the digital signal to my LED and keep it lit for a period of time. I was able to turn it on and off by simply sending it a hex digit (binary conversion) for the ports that I wanted to enable / disable. (For example if i wanted to enable ports one and two, the hex answer is 3 (“11” in binary).
