Data Acquisition Toolbox

Analog Output

Analog output subsystems convert digital data stored on your computer to a real-world analog signal. Typical plug-in acquisition boards offer two output channels with 12 bits of resolution, with special hardware available to support multiple channel analog output operations. The Data Acquisition Toolbox provides access to analog output subsystems through an analog output object.
The purpose of this chapter is to show you how to perform data acquisition tasks using your analog output hardware. The sections are as follows.

Getting Started with Analog Output	Perform basic tasks with your analog output hardware
Managing Output Data	Queue data in memory for eventual output to the hardware
Configuring Analog Output Triggers	Initiate the output of queued data to the hardware
Events and Callbacks	Enhance your analog output session using events and callbacks
Linearly Scaling the Data: Engineering Units	Configure engineering units properties so that output data is linearly scaled
Starting Multiple Device Objects	Simultaneously use your hardware's analog output and analog input subsystems
