generate signal f=50 Hz with NI-9264

[dsasorin]

Hi. i'm Sorin.

I need to generate a sine waveform with f=50 Hz, U=3Vrms. I have a C module, NI-9264. Is it any good ? Or it can only generates Vcc ?

I only have C modules: AI for RTD, V,mA, universal,  and AO for V and mA.

What can i use? 

Thanks.

After reading the specs, what questions do you still have?

[dsasorin]

well, i still have.

it's the first time i use AO modules. Specs said +/- 10 V. but it didn't said what kind of voltage is out. I SUPPOSE is Vdc. That's the first one.

 And the second question is, can I output 50 Hz somehow, with a trick, even if you say that the module outputs only Vdc ?

Thanks.

It DOES say it outputs up to 25 ks/sec (25000 samples per second). That is more than enough for 50 hz.

Of course it's more than enough 25000 samples for 50 Hz. (500 samples per period). I think the fact that it outputs 25000 samples per second has nothing to do with output waveform. I read the specs before i use the module and i was in dilema on this. Maybe it was better to use the module and see what it can first, than read the specs.  Just kidding. But the fact is that i didn't use the module till now, i wanted to be sure regarding waveform before i begin.

So you say it will work. that's great. Thank you.

The number of samples per second has everything to do with the type of waveform you can output.
