Is there a way to inquire the current status of the DAC?

Is there a possibility to inquire during/after an output of similar
data the current status of the DAC.
After I wrote the data for the buffered analog output with the advanced VI AO Write
into the buffer take place the output.
If this is now aborted suddenly I would like the current status to test.
Is there for it a possibility?

PS: The functions number of produced updates or number of produced buffers do not function.

Thanks

If you are using an E-series DAQ board there is some internal routing capabilties that allows you to read several internal channels.
For example you can read the voltage level of Analog output channel 0 vs AO ground.

This is done by using internal channel strings in LabVIEW. This information can be found in the help for LabVIEW under VI and function reference -> Data Acquisition VIs -> Hardware capabilities -> MIO and AI Device Hardware capabilities.

For example to read the current value of AO channel 0 the string is _AO0vsAOGnd and for AO channel 1 the string is _AO1vsAOGnd.

Thanks for the note.

With which VI can I read or link or store into a variable one of these values?
With the VI route I found no possibility.

Thanks in advance
