Using Ni-switch to control analog outputs

I am new to NI-Switch and am investigating using our PXI-2567 relay driver to send output voltages to various valves and other devices. From what I can tell, there is not a way to directly influence the voltage associated with this output and am unsure of how to drive that change in the VI. Would I be better off instead pursuing this connection through analog output on my PXI-4322 or is there something I am missing in the NI-Switch application tree?

Relay modules cannot output any signal. You need to connect a signal to it. See How to Connect Signals to the PXI-2567

2567 is a "relay driver" which means can control the power supply to a "relay". Essentially it is a bunch of low-side MOSFETs that is used to control relay's coils.
