Basic Workflow
- Digital Channels
Transfer digital or logical values in bits via digital lines. - Acquire Non-Clocked Digital Data
Acquire a single scan of digital data from two channels of an NI device. - Generate Non-Clocked Digital Data
This example shows how to write data to two lines on an NI 6255. - Acquire Digital Data Using a Shared Clock
Share the clock of the analog subsystem on your device for the digital acquisition. - Acquire Digital Data Using an External Clock
Acquire digital data in the foreground using an external scan clock.

- Acquire Digital Data Using a Counter Output Channel as External Clock
Acquire digital data using a counter output channel to generate clock pulses. - Acquire Digital Data in Hexadecimal Values
This example shows how to acquire digital data using four channels on an NI 6255. - Generate Digital Output Using Decimal Data Across Multiple Lines
This example shows how to convert decimal data and output to two lines on an NI 6255. - Generate and Acquire Data on Bidirectional Channels
This example shows how to use a bidirectional channel and read and write data using the same two lines on an NI 6255. - Generate Signals on Both Analog and Digital Channels
This example shows how to generate signals when the DataAcquisition contains both analog and digital channels.
