Analog Signal Generation

Configure analog output channels and generate signals with your device

You can generate signals on analog output channels either synchronously or asynchronously. For synchronous writes, signal is generated in the foreground. For asynchronous writes, signal is generated in the background. Before you use analog output channels, see Hardware Discovery and Setup.

Functions

`addoutput`	Add output channel to device interface
`write`	Write output scans to hardware channels
`preload`	Queue scan data for device output
`flush`	Flush DataAcquisition input and output buffers
`readwrite`	Simultaneously read and write device channel data
`start`	Start `DataAcquisition` background operation
`stop`	Stop background operation
`removechannel`	Remove channel from device interface

Apps
