Configure DIO ports on ME-UBRE when connected to MiniLAB-1008 #44

Hello,

I am trying to configure and then set the DIO ports to hi on my setup. The setup being a minilab-1008 which is conned to ME-UBRE through the DB37 port. The end goal I want to achieve is to be able to set the DOI port to hi and then back to low after a certain time. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
The current code I have is doing this for the DIO ports on the board. but there too I get "ERROR 42: Digital port is not configured correctly for requested operation."
