Hi all.
I have a box, integrated in a TE, that houses a USB-6501 card.
DI and DO are properly conditioned and can be accessed by a custom connector.
A LabVIEW application controls the whole TE and, at start up, configures USB-6501 to work as "Active Drive", following the hints of the article
How Do I Configure My NI Device to Be Open-Drain (Open Collector) or Push-Pull (Active Drive)?
Now, that box needs to be tested out of the TE, as a standalone device, to release a simple PASS/FAIL report.
Usually, the test procedure for boxes like these, are simple.
HW Requirements:
- Power Supply
- PC (to connect to USB6501)
- DMM
SW Requirements:
- NI MAX.
But unfortunately, in this case, NI MAX is not enough to test the box.
OK. I can write a couple of VIs to carry out the task.
Anyway, I have three simple questions:
1) will it be possible, one day, to set default value for "DO.Output Drive Type" parameter, so that USB-6501 will remember his configuration at power-on ?
2) will it be possible, one day, to access "DO.Output Drive Type" from MAX Test Panel ?
3) Where can I find an NI official standalone SW to configure "DO.Output Drive Type" and configure/manage Digital I/O on USB 6501 board?
I hope no one will get angry for this post.
I thanks you in advance for the answers.
Bye
