6602: Generating a pulse train with specified high and low levels

Looking at the 3 Counter-Output DAQmx Create Virtual Channel options, I don't see a way to set the low and high levels of the pulse train to generate.  Is there a way to specify the high and low level?  I am working with the Counter-Timer PXI-6602.

Thanks,
Melissa

The high and low levels are dictated by the hardware and cannot be changed.  It's compatible with TTL logic, meaning that low levels are generally near 0 V and high levels are more like 5 V.  Rise and fall times are also specified as very short durations (sharp edges).

If instead you want to set the high and low TIMES of a pulse train, there are inputs available in DAQmx Create Virtual Channel that let you define the timing characteristics of a pulse train.

ALERT! LabVIEW's subscription-only policy came to an end (finally!). Unfortunately, pricing favors the captured and committed over new adopters -- so tread carefully.
