Positive Output Voltage generation with DAQ 6036E

[jim_mech]

Hallo there,
I have a DAQ 6036E and I would like to generate a positive sine Voltage Output from LV 8.20.
It is very important to have only positive values because the output voltage will be used as input to an amp for piezoelectric actuators(negative voltage can destroy them). See the attached figure...

I don't have experience on voltage generation with LV. In addition, I tried to learn from the LV example VI's but according to the EXAMPLE FINDER  my card model doesn't support output generation.

Any help appreciated.Thank you in advance for your time!!!

The 6036E has 2 analog outputs, therefore there is no reason that it can't generate an output signal !

There is an example that is a very good starting point :

LabVIEW Menu >> Help >> Find examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Voltage >> Cont Gen VOltage WFm-Int Clk.vi

Please notice that the PCI-6036E and the DAQCard-6036E appear in the Requirements list on the right of the NI Example Finder window.

Set Amplitude to 1V and use Waveform Scale and Offset.vi with offset set to 1V to get the desired sine between 0 and 2V.

See attached image.

Just one solution...
