VI's for pci-6120

I wish to use my pci-6120 dac outputs as a controller to a scanning machine. As far as I understand my options, the best is to download a pre-determined set of voltage samples to the AO FIFO, the dac would then step to the next sapmle either by being externally triggered or in an update rate to be specified.
My question is whether it is a possible application using that board, and if so where can I find VI's that can help me do that.

Yshushan,

Yes, you should be able to use the NI 6120 for this application. Below, I have included a link to an example program that demonstrates how to accomplish FIFO-mode analog output:

FIFO vs. Non-FIFO Mode Analog Output

This should get you started. Good luck with your application.
