Hello dmourer,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
Is this behavior occurring on all AO Channels? Also, Have you tried measuring these voltages with an oscilloscope? I would like to make sure that the ringing is ocurring on the PCI-6731, and not the NI-4472.
Please respond with these details and I will be glad to continue troubleshooting with you.
