Solenoid Breakout Code Help

I think you're working from documentation that is out of date by many years.

The first parameter doesn't specify the slot number in the chassis. It specifies the "module number", which is either 1 (for the first module of a given type) or 2 (for the second module). If you're putting your NI 9472 module in slot 3, it's module number 1. If you're putting it in slot 4 of a 4-slot cRIO or slot 7 of an 8-slot cRIO, it's module number 2.

Slot 8 of an 8-slot cRIO is always empty.
