To start off, I am a complete novice to LabVIEW and I am working on my senior capstone project. Please, bear with me and I will try my best to help you help me.
I am wanting to use my NI 9401 to send a voltage to a solid state relay so that I can control the temperature of a heating element. Ideally what I want to do is:
1. LabVIEW sends voltage to relay.
2. Relay turns on.
3. Heating element reaches desired temperature.
4. LabVIEW does some sort of pulse to maintain that temperature.
Right now I have one wire set inside of DIO 4 (or pin 20?) because I have read that 4:7 are for outputs. I also have another wire in the first COM slot (pin 1?). I believe that these two wires will be placed in the "input signal" spots on the diagram below.
