hardware buffered analog output single shot

[Electromecha]

Using DAQmx and M-Series hardware i'm trying to fire a single shot analog output buffered waveform.   I need the output hardware timed.  I'm able to output a hardware buffered waveform but can't figure on how to configure it for or stop it after prescribed number of cycle runs.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You have a couple of options. You can set your timing to N samples and you acquisition will stop when N samples have passed. Or you can use a counter to control the clock of the analog output and then the counter can be paused whenever you can.  Before we go and dig into the specific details of the scheme let me suggest a couple excellent reading materials and let me know if they help. M Series Synchronization with LabVIEW and NI-DAQmx, Continuous Analog Output with Pause Trigger and Programmatic Grounding of Output in DAQmx, NI-DAQmx: Retriggerable Analog Output -- LabVIEW and M Series: Analog Trigger Source.

Also don’t forget to take a look at simpler examples like: Cont Gen Voltage Wfm-Int Clk-Pause Trigger.vi

I hope it helps
