Good Evening All,
  I've run into a problem with a new customer's system. They have two "nearly 
identical" systems, differing in their DAQ I/O cards, one having a PCMCIA card, the 
other using the DAQPad-6020E. The problem lies with the system utilizing the DAQPad. 
When this system is started early in the execution the DAQPad is initialized using the 
"DIO port config.vi" which calls the lvdaq.dll. The problem is that when this vi is 
entered the DAQPad  digital I/0 pins apparently all go to "input" initially, which 
causes their respective pins to go to a level of around 1.3 V. A few seconds later 
they go to the desired "output" mode and a logic low as programmed. Unfortunately 
during their little jaunt into input mode the level is high enough to trigger some of 
the circuitry we are attempting to control, which is a bit distressing as one of the 
signals turns on a fairly high RF source. Any thoughts other than putting hardware 
between the pins and the target hardware that won't switch until we are a little more 
solidly a "logic 1"? I've tried 100K resistors from the I/O pin to ground, but 
apparently the 1.3V is a solid signal level, not just a float.

Thanks, and happy wiring

Putnam Monroe
