Universal Library Virtual Instruments (VIs)

Analog Output VIs

Simultaneous

When this option is set (True) (if the board supports it and the appropriate switches

are set on the board) all of the D/A voltages will be updated simultaneously when
the last D/A in the scan is updated. This generally means that all the D/A values
will first be written to the board, then a read of a D/A address causes all D/As to be
updated with new values simultaneously.

ExtClock

If this option (True) is used, conversions will be paced by the signal on the external

clock input line rather than by the internal pacer clock. Each conversion will be
triggered on the appropriate edge of the external clock input signal (see board-
specific info). When this option is used, the

Rate

argument is ignored. The

sampling rate is dependent on the trigger signal. Options for the board will default
to transfer types that allow the maximum conversion rate to be attained unless
otherwise specified.

Rate

(output

Actual output rate (in samples per channel per second).

ErrCode

Error code returned from the Universal Library. Zero if no error occurred. Use the

ErrMsg VI to convert

ErrCod

e into a readable string.
