Does the NI-CAN 2.5 Channel API support multiple periodic tasks?

I have different channels that need to be output at seven different periods.  Can I create multiple periodic tasks with different periods or am I going to have to either use software timing or the Frame API?

Hi,

yes you can initialize multiple task with different sample rates, but you have to initialize all sequentialy and then to start thee tasks sequentialy.

Attached you can find an example for LabVIEW which shows how to do it.

Thanks Dirk!  Is that documented somewhere and I just missed it?
