hi all,
was wondering if anyone out there was able to help me with this.
firstly just a small bit of back ground info about me. i'm a student with a little labview experience, i'm running labview 2009 and using a NI USB-6008 DAQ.
i need to write a labview program that controls air temperature using PID. i will have an anolog input (v) for the temperature read and 2 digital outputs, 1 for the DC fan and 1 for the heating element.
i have done a small bit on this already. using the DAQ assist i can get the AI and in put it to a PID sub VI. when i try to conect the output from the PID vi. to the DAQ assist for the DO's i am unable to. also i'm not sure if i can switch the 2 DO seperatly or do they have to come on together? what i mean is will i be able to switch on the heating element and then pulse on and off the fan as the temperature rises to the set point? i hope this makes sence.
if anyone can please help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
