PXI-6723 cannot achieve 800kS/s .NET ContGenVoltageWfm_IntClk.2012.sln

Using the PXI-6723 I cannot achieve 800kS/s waveforms.  The fastest that seems to be possible with the .NET ContGenVoltageWfm_IntClk.2012.sln example program seems to be about 50kHz with my hardware. 

 

With most waveform generators the internal memory can be used to store a waveform pattern so that the speed is not limited by the DMA.  Can this be done with the PXI-6723 to achieve an 800kS/s waveform?  (I'm just looking for a square wave at this point)

Just to clarify, are you looking for frequency or number of samples here? How are you measuring the kS/s out of the card?

 

It looks like the 6723 uses a local FIFO to update, instead of the PCI bus. With one channel, you should be able to get an 800 kS/s update rate.
