Thread Subject: outputting data with NI USB-6008 in MATLAB

Hi,

I am trying to outputting data with NI USB-6008 analog
output channel, however I am facing problem everytime i
run the program.

my program is as below:

ao = analogoutput('nidaq','Dev1');
addchannel(ao,1)
set(ao,'SampleRate',150);
set(ao,'TriggerType','Immediate');
putdata(ao,3.5)
start(ao)


???analog output subsystem of this device does not support
clocked generation, must use PUTSAMPLE to output data.

while I change the PUTDATA to PUTSAMPLE command, another
error will shown

???only 1 sample per channel can be output


I am wondering how to settle the above problems, however I
couldn't find out a solution. Could any one help on this?
Besides that, i would like to have a simple program that
can be used to output data to analog output channel.

Thank a lot...

regards,
yeelin

Hi Yeelin,
The USB-6008 does not have an onboard clock, therefore you
cannot use PUTDATA/START. You must use PUTSAMPLE, just as
the error message states.

When I change the code use PUTSAMPLE and start I do not see
the error you are seeing.

If this is still an issue please post the exact code for the
putsample example and I will try it here.
Include everything from the "ao = analogoutput..."

Regards,
Sherryl

I am having the same trouble, but once I change over to
"PUTSAMPLE" start, I receive the following error:
> ??? Data must be queued using PUTDATA before starting.

Error in ==> annewave at 49
start(ao)

Help?!
Thanks!
Jake

Jacob,
It is hard to know exactly what is wrong with your code
without seeing it.

Note that PUTSAMPLE stands on its own.
PUTDATA/START are a pair.
You can read about these 3 commands in the online documentation.
This page also mentions devices with no onboard clock so you
may want to start here.

Also, this solution may interest you as it describes the
behavior of a device without an onboard clock for analog output.

Hi,Yeelin, I got exactly same problem as you got here. Have you figured it out? When I try to use PUTSAMPLE I also got the same error.

Thank you so much.

I try it again using PUTSAMPLE instead of putsat and start, it works then
