Can I do triggering and manual control simultaneously on one card?

[joehsiao]

I have a PCIe 6323 and can I generate triggering output on, say ao0, while setting up a GUI for, say ao1, for users to manually set a constant output on ao1?

joehsiao,

Yes, you should be able to, provided you do not need the accuracy of hardware timing. The DAQmx driver limits you to 1 hardware-timed analog output task at a time, so you could only run both these outputs at the same time if one, or both, task is software timed.

You can find more information in the following article: How Many DAQmx Tasks Can I Run Simultaneously?

Let me know if this helps.
