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
