Waveform capture on PXI-4142

Hello, 

I am trying to force a AWG on one pin and capture the resulting waveform on another pin. 

I am using PXI-4139 to force a sequence of values (ramp like waveform) on one of the pin in my program . But I could not find how to sample the waveform on another pin using PXI-4142. 

 

It would be helpful if anyone could suggest how to do this task..

If I understand you correctly, you want to output a sequence on one channel (of a PXIe-4139) and read back data on another channel (on a PXIe-4142).

 

The idea is to set the measuring channel's Source Mode to DC Current and set 0A for the current level (or as close as the device allows).

 

There are several examples that do this precise thing, or can easily be adjusted.

LabVIEW: NI-DCPower Hardware-Timed Two-Channel Sweep.vi (check in Example Finder after installing support)
