Good day,
while I filed a support ticket, perhaps the excellent folks on the forums have an answer to my
question as well.
I am using an NI 6010 multifunction DAQ, and am having a difficult time setting the output voltage.
I am running on OpenSuse 11.1, with nikal 110 and daqmx801f. Ah, I should also mention I
am using the direct C interface, and not running through labview proper.
Reading voltages through the DAQ is working well, but setting the output voltage with:
...
DAQmxCreateAOVoltageChan(taskHandle,"Dev1/ao0","",-5.0,5.0,DAQmx_Val_Volts,"")
...
DAQmxWriteAnalogF64(taskHandle,1,1,10.0,DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel,data,NULL,NULL)
...
Is not working. I have a volt meter set up on pins 12 and 11 (12 being the ao0+ side and 11 being the ao0- side)
and am reading no output voltage. This is basically the same code as the NI example VoltUpdate.c, which
I am using for testing purposes while trying to get to the root of this issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It could be possible your card may be broken. Try running this and see if it passes the test. You would need windows machine for that 😉 and DAQmx driver.
Good luck !
