I/O Monitor

Interactively set output values and monitor input values on the Academic RIO Device MXP and MSP connector signals to quickly test your connected peripheral devices without creating a VI. Note: The NI ELVIS III does not have an I/O Monitor at this time.

Procedure

  1. Connect the Academic RIO Device by its USB cable to establish the “USBLAN” network
  2. Start LabVIEW
  3. Click “Set Up and Explore” and then click “Launch the I/O Monitor”
  4. Alternatively, right-click the Device target in the LabVIEW Project Explorer and select “Launch IO Monitor”
  5. Select your Device
  6. Digital I/O:
    • Connect a wire between DIO0 and DIO1 (see the map for MXP connector pinout)
    • Select DIO0 and DIO1
    • Change DIO0 to “Write” mode
    • Toggle the DIO0 switch and observe that DIO1 input properly senses DIO0
  7. Analog I/O:
    • Connect a wire between AI0 and AO0 (see the map for MXP connector pinout)
    • Select AI0 and AO0
    • Change the AO0 output type and amplitude
