Using NI-HSDIO in LabVIEW

This topic assumes that you are using the National Instruments LabVIEW ADE to manage your code development and that you are familiar with the ADE.

To develop an NI-HSDIO application in LabVIEW, follow these general steps:

  1. Open an existing or new LabVIEW VI.
  2. From the Function Palette, locate the NI-HSDIO VIs at NI Measurements»NI-HSDIO.
  3. Select the VIs that you want to use and drop them on the block diagram to build your application.

Example Programs for LabVIEW

If you are using LabVIEW 7.0 or later, you can use the NI Example Finder to search or browse examples. NI-HSDIO examples are classified by keyword, so you can search for a particular device or measurement function.

To browse the NI-HSDIO examples available in LabVIEW, launch LabVIEW, click Open»Examples, and navigate to Hardware Input and Output»Modular Instruments»NI-HSDIO. You can also acess the examples using the Start menu, by selecting Start»All Programs»National Instruments»NI-HSDIO»Examples.
