Managing Output Data
At the core of any analog output application lies the data you want to send from a computer to an output device such as an actuator. The role of the analog output subsystem is to convert digitized data to analog data for subsequent output.
Before you can output data to the analog output subsystem, it must be queued in the engine. Queuing data is managed with the putdata
function. In addition to this function, there are several properties associated with managing output data. These properties are given below.
