Analog Output with NI 9264

[c-swanholm]

I'm trying to set up a simple analog output through the DAQ assistant and i'm not getting anywhere with the forums or example.

2 slider outputs sending 0-5V through a NI 9264 Analog Output module. Seems like it should be pretty straight forward but it isnt.

Help?

Unfortunately a lot is hidden when you use express VIs and dynamic data. If you configured it for multiple samples it's going to expect 1 array per channel. I would just stick to the DAQmx VIs and it looks like this:

Or, with multiple channels it would like this:

I was hoping to do it with the DAQ assistant, as I am new to lab view

I see, well the pictures I uploaded are snippets, so if you have LV 2016 or above you can drag them onto your block diagram and it becomes code you can run, doesn't get much easier than that! I'll attach a VI as well if you need it.

I'm running 2015 I believe

I can't open the vi you shared

[Gregory]

Here it is in LV 2012

Thank you for your help. I'm still having difficulties.

The code you sent me gives an error code -200846.

If anyone knows how to do this with the regular DAQ assistant please chime in

Did you change the channel name to match a real channel you have in your system? Just out of curiosity, have you played around with your device in MAX?

Here is a good article to get you started with DAQ programming as well.

Hi Gregory,

I would like to generate three phase analog voltage signals from NI 9264 with each signals 120 degrees apart. I was trying to use your VI file but couldn't get it done. Please help!

			Phase (deg)
Vline1	Phase A	ao0	0
	Phase B	ao1	120
	Phase C	ao2	240
Vline2	Phase D	ao3	0
	Phase E	ao4	120
	Phase F	ao5	240
Cline1	Phase A	ao6	0
	Phase B	ao7	120
	Phase C	ao8	240
		ao9
		ao10
		ao11
		ao12
		ao13
		ao14
		ao15

Thanks Greg!!!
