NI 9263 dc voltage output

[Trainee123]

Hello,

I am a new user of National Instrument product. I just bought a NI 9263 and wish to generate a DC voltage between 0 and 5V. But I don't know how to configure the DAQ Assistant. There isn't any option for DC voltage, only sinewave, squarewave and trianglewave. Can somebody give me some guidance please? I have included the code that I attempted in Labview.

Hi,

There isn't any option for DC voltage, only sinewave, squarewave and trianglewave.

Did you notice that selection ise named "Test signal"? What do you think is this "test signal" good for?

But I don't know how to configure the DAQ Assistant

The DAQAssistent has a "data" input. What do you think is it good for?

Did you check all those example VIs that come with LabVIEW and DAQmx? They explain nearly all options possible with LabVIEW!

That's just silly. Way overly complicated for just a dc signal. All that is required is the DAQmx Write set for 1 sample. You just wire a scalar to it. No need for any timing or the simulated square wave. I believe you can do this with the DAQ Assistant as well.

Yes, you can set the Generation Mode (Timing tab) to 1 Sample (On Demand) and that will change Voltage Out to a single DC value.  Of course I would agree with Dennis that you should use the DAQmx Write primitive set to Analog > Single Channel > Single Sample > DBL and avoid the crutch of using the DAQ Assistant.

I don't mind the DAQ Assistant as much as the evil dynamic data.
