Overview:
Demonstrates on regulating the width of digital pulses programmatically.

Descriptions:
This examples allows the user to regulate the low and high time of the digital pulse on the fly.

Requirements:
  1. LabVIEW 2012 or compatible.
  2. NI-DAQmx 15.5.1 or compatible.


Steps to Implement or Execute Code:

  1. Select digital lines at which the digital signal will be generated.
  2. Set the Low and High Time (ms). You may also change this while the VI is running.
  3. Run this VI.


Block Diagram Steps:

  1. Creates a Digital Output channel to generate digital pulses.
  2. Write a single sample into the card buffer.
  3. Specifies whether to invert the lines in the channel. If you set this property to TRUE, the lines are at high logic when off and at low logic when on.
  4. Transitions the task to running state to begin generation.
  5. Depending on the iteration count, the digital output channel will write a low and high alternately.
  6. Clears the task.
  7. Displays any error occurs.

I have plant DC Motor and I using NI-USB 6009. Can I generate PWM signal with this VI ?
