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 software 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.
