Hello Stephen,
It is possible to institute a delay an analog output. This is best done by specifying a trigger and then beginning the output when that trigger occurs.
Below is a link to an example program developed for LabVIEW that waits a specified number of seconds and then triggers analog output to begin. This code performs analog input as well, but for your program you could remove that portion. The trigger that is used is RTSI pin 0. After a specified period of time, the RTSI pin 0 is set to 1 and then the analog output begins.
Analog Input with Delayed Analog OutputTake a look at this example and
try to build from it for your code. If you have any further questions on this issue, let me know.
