PXI 6221 digital waveform output

Im trying to output a digital waveform to one digital output of my PXI 6221 DAQ.
This is the block diagram : block diagram.PNG
This is the front panel

As you can see, the digital waveform outputs to the graph like it should.
But to DO 7, it seems to  always writes the last bit of the binary string (in this case 0).

Also, I want this waveform to have a sample frequency using the internal counters.
How do I do this?


Thank you

I've put DO7 on an osciloscope with triggering mode.
This is wat I got:

It seems to output at 1MHz. Its this frequency I want to change.

How do I do this?

You could change your sample rate.  Use the DAQmx Timing VI.

M Series devices don't have a dedicated timing engine for digital I/O, so you'll need to route the clock from somewhere else.  The most common solution is probably to use a counter, as in this example.

I'm using LV 7.1 and I can't find some VI's (device prefix).


Is there any other way to get a counter to be the source of the sample clock?

Hello kev91,

 

Here you can find the missing VI:

Ok thank you, I've managed to get it working thank you :).

Is it possible to use outputs synchronous?

This is what I already have, but it outputs an error:

The bottom of your screenshot is cut off, but it looks like you are trying to run two different tasks on the same device.  You may only have 1 buffered digital output task per device (but that task may include multiple lines).  Furthermore, only lines on port 0 of your M Series support buffered digital output (I can't see which lines you have selected from the screenshot).

The bottom is basicly the,same as the middle one.

This is what I want to achieve:

I want one DO to output a clock signal for some time and another DO to go high every 200th clock signal. It needs to get high when the 200 clock signal just had its negative edge and needs to be low when the next clockpulse is high.

Hello Kev,

 

Is it possible to take multiple screenshots so that we can have an overview of what happens in the complete design?
