Hi
I dont think what I want to do is possible, but maybe someone knows a way to make it work.
I am using LV7 and NI-DAQmx BASE, on a mac, so base is my only option unless I go back to lv6.
I am trying to get two different voltage outputs from one e-series (ni-6031e) board. I want the first channel to continuously generate a triangle waveform at say 5volts/sec. The second output channel will then be an 'on-demand' type of output that will update the channel every few minutes with a new value.
The continuous waveform output is working fine but I am not sure if I can 'change tasks' IDs without disrupting the buffered output... I am pretty sure the only way to do this is use a single task and have the first virtual channel data be the triangle waveform and then the second virtual channel data be my 'on-demand' single point. I can then continuously modify the fifo buffer and send in the appropriate single-point update as needed. Will I still get perfect timing of my triangle waveform?
