Finite analog output with NI-DAQmx API

“

- [Narrator] Using the DAQ Assistant Express VI is the quick and easy option for creating DAQ tasks, but it has it's limits. The DAQMX API can provide more lower level control, so let's look at how to use it to build a finite analog output program. I'll open the functions palette, go to measurement IO, DAQMX, and then pin the DAQMX palette open. Like most DAQ tasks, my analog output program will begin by creating a virtual channel. I'll left click on the polymorphic selector, choose analog output, and then voltage. If I press control H to open the context help menu and put my mouse over it, I see that the inputs and outputs look almost identical to the analog input task. With a min and max range and terminal configuration. The only required input is the physical channel, so I'll right click on that terminal, create a constant, and then select analog output channel zero on my USB 6,001. Next I'll add the DAQMX timing VI…
