digital waveform output with daqpad 6020e

[Paul D.]

Can the daqpad 6020e do continuous digital waveform output on any of the digital lines? If so, what lines. If not, what devices in the same price range can?

[John N]

Paul, what kind of waveforms, speeds, and repeatability are you looking for? If you can handle software timing and jitter, then you could just change the digital outputs in a loop.

If you need fast, steady, repeatable pattern generation, then we offer the NI-6533 and NI-6534. The DAQPads don't currently have any support for digital pattern generation. You can get it in PCMCI format however with the NI-6533.

Hope this helps,
