Output Continuous Analog Signal with NI9263 and cRIO only

[ShaneJ007]

Dear Forum Members, 

I have made a wave generator which is able to create a sine or any wave according to my requirements. Hence I chop a part of the sin wave generated and convoluted it with a unit step function to cut it off.  below is it's output. 

I have a NI 9263 (analog output) module installed to cRIO. (not to DAQ) Is there a way that I can output the waveform in terms of voltages using available devices? I have refered a lot of examples in internet and labview help vis. But all of them are either using DAQ or DAQ assistant. 

Or am I doing something wrong here? 

Thank you very much. 

best, 

Shane.

What's your cRIO type?

Recent cRIOs like 904x and 905x allow for using DAQmx instead of Scan-Engine or FPGA.

Hi Jens, 

It's CRio 9030

Hi ShaneJ007,

LabVIEW programming for the cRIO architecture looks a bit different that programming using DAQmx. There are plenty of development tutorials and resources available online if you search for something along the lines of "cRIO development", "getting started with cRIO", etc.. I have linked a couple of these below that I would recommend:

Getting Started with CompactRIO and LabVIEW

LabVIEW for CompactRIO Developer's Guide

To set up a simple analog output, it would probably be easiest to use the module in Scan I/O mode and drag and drop module channels from the project explorer into your VI that will run on the Real-Time target (cRIO).
