DIG_Out_Port
Format
status = DIG_Out_Port (deviceNumber, port, pattern)
Purpose
Writes digital output data to the specified digital port.
Parameters
Direction Name Type Description
Input deviceNumber I16 assigned by configuration utility
port I16 digital I/O port number
pattern I16 8-bit digital pattern for the data written
Parameter Discussion
port is the digital I/O port number.
Range: 0 through 1
Port A = 0
Port B = 1
Note: You will normally use output port A with this function.
pattern indicates the 8-bit digital pattern for the data written to the specified port. NI-DAQ
ignores the high eight bits of pattern. NI-DAQ maps the low eight bits of pattern to the digital
output lines making up the port so that bit 0, the least significant bit, corresponds to digital
output line 0.
Using This Function
DIG_Out_Port writes the specified digital data to the port on the specified board. If you have
not configured the specified port as an output port, NI-DAQ does not perform the operation and
returns an error. You must call DIG_Prt_Config to configure a digital I/O port as an output
port.
