6008 5 V/TTL signal?

Most sensors native output is some variable voltage level, the only
issue I'm running into is that I will be needing to provide some hardware with a 5 V/TTL signal. I need this so that I
can provide a clock or sting of pulses to a multiplexer so that I can
sweep through every meter automatically. Is the USB-6008 able to do
this? That is create a continuous series of 5 V/TTL pulses? I'm asking about this particular DAQ since I have about 30 of them laying around.

Thanks for your help.

More specifically, it looks like the DAQ is able to provide this sort of signal. Could anyone point me to some tutorials or examples of how this is done? I have been looking around and haven't been able to find much.

 

Thanks again

It depends on what sort of frequency you need. As you see from the specs, the digital output is software timed so this means sub 1KHz frequency and considerable jitter.

 

Where did you do your search? Do you search the shipping examples(Help>Find Examples>Hardware Input and Output>DAQmx>Digital Generation)? Did you search the boards for '6008 digital'? There are also the DAQmx Getting Started tutorials.
