Hello
I am using the NI-6132 capture card along with DAQmx and python in Ubuntu 10.10. Since my card has no analogue outputs, would be possible to program it to output either through the counter or digital ouput a manchester encoded square wave? I have written my encoder in python and I would like to output that code to an oscilloscope or any other device with a BNC connector.
So far I have managed to capture a signal on the analogue input and create Pulse width modulation with the counter port. This confirms that my installation was successfull and interaction between the card and python is possible.
Any input will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi pourounas
Thank you for using the forums! How have you been getting on with this?
You can using the System Exec VI or the Pipes VIs to call your Python code with LabVIEW for Linux. This should allow you to pass data from your Python script and LabVIEW.

Hi Peter
Thank you very much for your response. I was hoping to get round this without using LabView as we don't have a license for it. As far as I know LabView does not support Ubuntu? Are you aware of any other way?
