how to generate sine wave in DAQ 6009? please help me.

Have you been paying attention to the help we have been trying to give you?  The PDF you cited is for hardware that has a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which the USB-6009 does not.  You'll notice that the example shows timing of 10KHz, and 100 samples in the wave.  The USB-6009 can only output 1 (one) point at a time, and the maximum rate you can get by calling the DAQ Write command over and over is around 150Hz (not KHz).

 

The USB-6009, in short, is not suitable for generating time-varying signals unless they vary very slowly.

To clear this up a bit:

 

In my initial post, where I've linked the PDF I assumed, that the 6009 had a hardware clock for output. (The emphasis wasn't on the 6009 when I was in NI Sales...) Since Gerd posted the "right solution" after me I didn't feel the need to elaborate any more on my post that wasn't applicable in the first place.

 

What was imvho unnecessary was to call out wrong posts- again: I'm sorry for even trying- as wrong with knowledge that has been obtained only from the post right below the wrong post by the OP. This triggered my second comment and this in turn caused all this discussion that is still going on. I assume that ritesh has already heeded all the advice given to him and his USB-6009 is now safely hooked up to the nuclear reactor it was intended for.
