Using USB-6210 to Control Galvo Mirror

[johnmue18]

I am doing a summer internship and have been tasked to build a confocal optical imaging system. I am a 2nd year undergraduate student and I have little coding experience.

I was supplied with the NI USB-6210 and the GVSK2-US - 2D Galvo System Kit from Thorlabs.

After reading the manual for the galvo, I believe I need to supply a range of -10 V to 10 V to the galvo. I have a host professor who said that I will be creating a GUI that will run a program that makes the DAQ Board output a voltage to control the galvo so I can scan an object using a laser. I figure LabVIEW will be the best way to accomplish that, which I have no experience with. However I'm first running into trouble connecting the USB-6210 and have it create a voltage output. After doing a bit of research I found my DAQ Board isn't capable of outputting an analog output, instead it can only do digital outputs. I'm a little confused as to what that exactly means and don't know if there's anything I can do to make this digital output an analog voltage output. 

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,

John

USB-6210 has only Analog Input, Digital Input and Digital Output signals and no Analog Output. You need to get a new DAQ capable of AO.
