Overview
This example will show the user how to use their DAQ card to output digital pulses based on an array of booleans. Make sure your DAQ card has a counter.

Description:
Using the counter of the DAQ hardware, we could basically generate a signal with a pattern by leveraging the characteristic of an array. In this example, the array would be filled by booleans value and thus the generation of the signal would follow the pattern of it

Steps to Implement or Execute Code:
To implement this example:

  1. (Optional) Set the parameters as needed
  2. Run the VI
  3. (Optional) Turn on the Highlight Execution to see the flow of the VI

To execute this example:

  1. Install the required software.
  2. Connect the DAQ hardware that supports the Counter features
  3. Confirm the connection with the MAX with TestPanel
  4. Open the VI and refer the Implement Steps


Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
NI-DAQmx 9.0 or compatible

Hardware
cDAQ with C series Counter Output Module
