NI ELVISmx function generation time

Hi, 

 

I am using this NI ELVISmx function generation.vi to generate voltage. In fact I put this subvi in a loop to scan voltage. However, there is a time gap between two loops about 20ms. I opened the NI ELVISmx function generation.vi and notice that the frequency in subFGenOutput.vi is about 0.2Hz. I do not know what the frequency here means.  I attahced the file. Could you help us to have a look at the file? Thanks.

Hi hrw,

 

I would not recommend modifying standard NI ELVISmx functions. Those functions are designed and tested for specific hardware and modifying those functions can lead to incorrect behaviour both on hardware and on software side. Now what do you mean by "scan voltage"? Are you generating a voltage signal using NI ELVISmx function generation.vi and then sending it to one of the analog outputs? What NI hardware are you using? Also 0.2Hz translates into 1/0.2=5 seconds. Also, how are you measuring the time gap (20ms) between the loops?
