X Series User Manual
Getting Started with AO Applications in Software
You can use an X Series device in the following analog output applications:
• Single-point (on-demand) generation
• Finite generation
• Continuous generation
• Waveform generation
You can perform these generations through programmed I/O or DMA data transfer mechanisms.
Some of the applications also use start triggers and pause triggers.
Note For more information about programming analog output applications and
triggers in software, refer to the NI-DAQmx Help or the LabVIEW Help.
X Series devices use the NI-DAQmx driver. NI-DAQmx includes a collection of programming
examples to help you get started developing an application. You can modify example code and
save it in an application. You can use examples to develop a new application or add example
code to an existing application.
To locate LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Visual Basic, and ANSI C
examples, refer to the document, Where Are NI-DAQmx Examples Installed in Windows?, by
going to ni.com/info and entering the Info Code daqmxexp.
For additional examples, refer to ni.com/examples.
