How to send I16 bits to Analog Out instead of using FXP data type with 9637?

[JesseBuck]

Hello, I have some older code examples for an sbRIO where the wire data type into the FPGA IO node for Analog Out is I16.  I would like drive my 9637 outputs the same way, but they appear as FXP terminals with a +/- 10 range.  I did not find properties settings that allow me to change to using raw bits, can someone point me to that option?  I understand there are some nice calibration aspects of the FXP data type but in this case I would like to try using I16 to drive the 16 bit analog outs.

Thanks,

Hello JesseBuck,

Thank you for the question. I wanted to link you to another thread which shows how to do this with our sbRIOs using C series modules. Like you noticed however, this option does not exist for the Connector0 analog inputs or outputs and may not be supported.

Did your previous sbRIO use any C series modules with a RIO Mezzanine Card? Which model sbRIO was this?

OK, thanks.  I had looked at the AOn properties but the outputs are not offering me any choices, so I guess that settles it!
