pulse generation using DAQ 6020E(BNC)

[poli]

I would like to generate a 10V pulse using DAQ 6020E(BNC). This instrument has 2 counters CTR0 and 1, each of which can generate 5V pulse.

I tried to connect them in series but this didnt work because they have common ground.

How do i obtain 10V pulse from  the instrument DAQ6020E(BNC)?

Any other way, using DIO etc???

Regards

Find an inexpensive level shifter. Google is your friend.

Hello Poli,

One way to achieve this would be to use an analog output channel to generate the desired voltage (the update rate of the 6020E (20S/s: system dependent) may limit this approach). The community example link included below demonstrates how to use an ao channel to generate a wave with varying frequency/amplitude. (On the front panel, select the Square Wave option).
