square wave with USB 6001 or 6002

Can I generate a hardware timed, 100 Hz square wave with a USB 6001 or 6002?

Hello salty,

 

The specification document for both devices (found at the links below) indicates that hardware timed analog output is possible on both devices.

 

SPECIFICATIONS NI USB-6001:

SPECIFICATIONS NI USB-6002:

Each device supports a maximum update rate of 5 kS/s simultaneous per channel, hardware timed. Therefore, you should be able to generate a hardware timed 100 Hz square wave using either device using an analog output task.

 

Regards,

Thanks J_Bou,

 

Thanks for the information and the confirmation. I was able to use one of the examples to produce the square wave.

I tried to generate a 5 kHz signal but was only able to generate up to 2.5 kHz.

Hi, you used a Square Waveform VI or something else?
