digital waveform editor

If I use the Digital Waveform Editor to create a clock, can this clock signal be used as a my clock source?  An example I am trying to reference for creation of my own VI is the Dynamic Generation and Acquisition - Demo.vi found in the Example Finder in LabVIEW 2012.  In it the On Board Clock is used for both Generation and Acquisition.  I would like to use a clock that I have already created in my waveform file because I know my other signal is working with it and the device under test when doing a signal generation and acquisition using a scope.  Any advice on how to do this (if possible) would be appreciated.

tcarrico,

 

In terms of using the waveform file that you created directly as your clock source, this is not possible. However, if you wanted to output this waveform using a function generator and then use that signal as an external sample clock for your Digitizer, this would be more likely to work. Is this more along the lines of what you were thinking?
