PXI 6711: setting a default analogue output value

[Flexrob]

Is it possible to set a default voltage for the analogue output of the PXI 6711? I would like to have this default voltage every time I start up my PXI platform and every time there aren't LabView programs that controls those outputs.

Hi,

Unfortunetely, the power on state for the analog outputs of the 6711 is 0V and you are not able to change that. You can make sure that the card is at a set voltage every time LV exits if you put in code that sets the voltage to a specific point every time LabVIEW exits. But, you will be at 0V until LV or another program sets the voltage to something different,

I just wanted to clarify this answer. The output voltage on power up is actually 0V (+-200mV), as stated on p.327 of the 2002 catalog. This omission will be correct in the next revision of the uesr manual.
