Analog Out with Measurement Computing DAQ Board

[Jogon]

I'm using a PCI-DAS 1200 DAQ board from Measurement Computing.

I am trying to generate a continuous sinusoidal analogue signal and I
need to be able to vary the voltage and frequency.

So far, using Measurement Computing's Universal Library VIs, I have
got an output which I am viewing on an oscilloscope. However, there is
much distortion to the signal and it is not sinusoidal and when I
alter the voltage range the signal remains the same. Can anyone help?

I would really like to have a program which is similar to the analog
out function generator example provided by National Instruments. Does
anyone know where I can get a program like this that will work with my
board?

If you're lucky, you will find some kind soul that already did similar work and is willing to donate the vi's to you.

In the old days, you selected a board and wrote software for it.
I hope you realise that N.I. has turned things upside-down by developing a great tool named LabVIEW (with NI-DAQ).
So first you select/build the appropriate vi's to do the job and then select the board (obviously by N.I.) to fit your needs.
Perhaps in your next project, you will follow the same route (unless it's a low-budget, volume or student application).

Yes, it is a student project and unfortunatly I am on a low budget!
