Looping part of 6534 output buffer

[Coxy]

I need to loop a 16 bit output pattern that is only 1000 samples long. I want to loop this continuously but do not want to have to fill the buffer completely. Is it possible to loop only these 1000 samples in the buffer?

Coxy,

Yes, this is definitely possible. You don't need to fill the board's memory to perform onboard looping. Below, I have included links to a couple of example programs that you may want to examine:

LabVIEW Example

Continuously Generating Repeat Data from Digital Output Channels (Loop From Onboard Memory)

NI-DAQ Function Calls Example

Pattern Generation with Onboard Looping for the NI 6534 and C++


Good luck with your application.
