www.vtiinstruments.com ASIC PERATION The EMX-75XX Series is a family of high-performance PXIe modules consisting of multiple I/O configurations and logic levels. Dedicated input or output cards are available for high channel count applications while other cards provide ultimate flexibility with eight, 8-bit ports (64 channels) that can be configured as an input or output under programmatic control Voltage This example covers the main functionality of the device: setting a voltage as an output in a port. - Page 46 VTI Instruments /*Now let's pick another port and set it to an output, and output some data on it. Changing the direction to Output allows us to write data as well as read it back. Note that we also have to set a voltage on the port before we can write data.*/ Dio->Normal->Ports->Item["PORT2"]->Direction = VTEXDioDirectionOutput;...
