Generate 5V DC from DAQ

Generate 5V DC from DAQ

‎07-09-2014 01:15 PM

Hello,

I'm still new to this stuff, I'm looking to generate a 5V DC signal from my NI USB-6211 DAQ to power a 5V sensor.

The DAQ I'm using has a port that says +5V, but I have no idea how to obtain the 5V signal from there.

Instead I just tried to generate the 5V signal from analog ouput port 0; please find this VI attached.

 

Does this VI do the job? And how could I just obtain the 5V DC directly from the DAQ without this VI?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

To get 5V, you have to wire it up - that's all. Have you read the manual? Please pay attention to the max current you can source.
