Reading Analog output value on Virtual channel terminals of the PCI-6036E card

[Kirit]

I'm using PCI-6036E card, which has 2 AO channels through which an external device can be controlled with logic developed in Labview.

Now my requirement is, i need to control 4 diff external devices through the logic. So the hardware PCI-6036E card wont fit for this application.

I have upgraded the labview logic for 4 AO channels, right now as i dont have PCI 6711 card on my PC, i'm using PCI-6711 simulated device.

Now my query is, How can i check/read command value on the virtual channels of PCI-6711 which are given to control external device.

Earlier with PCI-6036E card, i used to cross check the value on the terminals of AO channels with Multimeter. Is there any way to read the value on the terminals.

Thanks

Hi Kirt,

There is no way of confirming whether the output will be generated when you will use the actual daq card.

While using the Analog Output of DAQ card; you can loop it back to Analog Input and check out if the output is as desired.

While using a simulated DAQ card this feature is not possible for obvious reasons.

This article might help you.
