Is it possible to pulse square waves signals using Analog voltage signal?

[reggie2016]

I am wondering if it is possible to pulse an analog voltage signal using the ni daq 9263?

Since it would take less time to actually try this than to login and post your question, can we assume that you are getting some sort of error? What's the message? Where's your code?

Never mind -- I just Web-searched the device, found out it was a 4-channel 16-bit ±10V Analog Output module, no DIO capability.  I suppose the short answer is that you could program it to make a TTL pulse, but is the Analog Output circuitry optimized to drive the line the way a TTL DO circuit would?  I don't know the answer to this question, but I'd guess there might be different output circuitry for the two types of circuit ...

Nothing that couldn't be solved with a $.50 external driver chip.

Thats about all I can afford as a college student but I guess the answer is no because ive been trying to do that for two years now. Thank you anyway. I cannot do TTL because I am running 81 recording channels.

It's not any different to generate a square wave than it is to generate a sine wave. What does the number of input channels have to do with an analog output with ttl output levels? The answer is yes, no guessing. I don't believe you've spent two years on this.
