Convert Code from 6570 Digital Pattern to HSDIO 6556 Digital Waveform

[sroulston]

Is there a Burst Pattern equivalent in Labview 2013 if I am using HSDIO PXIe-6556 Digital Waveform? I already have a code that can be used to input into a DAC but it uses a Digital Pattern Instrument. My goal is to convert these codes into compatible form for the HSDIO 6556 Digital Waveform. Also, are there documentations/sources where I can see the equivalent VIs of NI Digital and NI HSDIO Acq & Gen? Do you have a link for these? Thank you.

There is NI-HSDIO to NI-Digital Pattern Converter but not the other way round. Perhaps you can have a look at the source code and try reverse engineering.

In short, it is complicated. 6570 has a lot of flexibility in placing the timing edges that 6556 don't. 6570 has a 10ns vector period and you can place edges with ps resolution in the 10ns, whereas in 6556 you can place edges only in 5ns resolution.

You cannot translate 'any' 6570 pattern into 6556 equivalent 'exactly'.
