Hi Chris,

I was wondering if you have a template mwel file to use NIDAQ. I have a joystick that monkeys will use to control the movement of image sequence (as opposed to left and right arrow for humans) and I will be using NIDAQ to interface it with Mworks. If there was a template in mwel for using an I/O device, it would be very helpful.

Thanks,  
Sujay

Hi Sujay,

I’ve attached an MWEL example that uses a [NIDAQ device](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/0.8/components/nidaq_device.html) with one [analog input channel](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/0.8/components/nidaq_analog_input_voltage_channel.html) and one [digital input channel](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/0.8/components/nidaq_digital_input_channel.html). If you have any questions, please let me know.

Chris
