Digital Line on PXI-7833 has Low Impedance When Used as an Input

Hardware: Reconfigurable I/O (RIO)>>R Series

Problem:
I am using a digital line on a PXI-7833 card for both output and input. According to the documentation, the digital line should have high impedance when used as an input. Why do I see low impedance on mine?


Solution:
Digital line on a R series device has low impedance when configured as an output. If you are using a digital line for both output and input, you need to disable the Digital Enable Switch by wiring in a False constant. This will return the line to high impedance.

NOTE: Make sure you disable the Digital Enable Switch before the line is used as an input.

When you write to a digital line, the Digital Enable Switch automatically returns to True .
