Hello everybody out there using NI devices,
The device I would like to trigger with my NI USB-6501 requires to use the digital output ports in "active drive" mode (instead of "open collector" which is the other option:
It only reacts if I choose "active drive" in the drop-down menu of the digital output test task, which I generated in NI Measurement and Automation eXplorer (MAX).
The available current in "open collector" mode doesn't seem to be sufficient to trigger my device.
However, the "open collector" mode seems to be used by default, because the USB-6501 box fails to trigger my device in all other situations (i.e. outside the specific test task in MAX where I can set "active drive" mode).
Is there a way how I could permanently make "active drive" the default mode on the USB-6501 box?
