Peek/poke on NI Max?

[vebba]

I would like to utilize/automate testing through NI Max for discrete I/O tests. Currently I just enter “peek X 0x0000” for example in putty and read the response. Does anyone know what LABview tool I could do this with? Measurement & Automation explorer? TestStand? Does anyone know of any videos that demonstrate how to set this up?

• You could use the VISA test panel to send commands to and read responses from a device.
• You can create your own LabVIEW VI to do the same.
• There are other options as well, most of them require some programming (or configuring at least)…

If you want that exact functionality you can make an exe that takes command line parameters, parses it and does some DAQ actions. It shouldn't be too hard. 🙂

If you call it Peek.exe it'd be very similar in total.
