Creating a waveform on a USB-6009 under Signal Express

Hi,

 

I am trying to generate a sine wave on USB-6009 running on SignalExpress LE.

 

No problem generating DC but as soon as I add a create waveform step there are errors. I can see that generate waveform step is trying to output the correct signal from its display.

 

Does anyone have a simple example on how to do this. Or is SignalExpress LE and the 6009 not capable of this function?

 

regards

 

Dave

As you can read from the specs, the 6009 is simply not capable of generating a waveform since it is software timed. This has been discussed numerous times. You can only write one point at a time in a loop. I have no idea if SignalExpress can do this. Post your problem to that board. If it can be done, it will be at a low frequency with considerable jitter.
