multiple waveform generation on analog output channels

[ponnaboy]

hi,
I am writing data on the two analog output channels on my PCI-6052E card.But AO write takes only one dimensional array of waveform data. How can I simultaneously output seperate waveforms on each of the analog output channels(say sine on DAC0 and square wave on DAC1)?

I've had a similar experience I believe.
I had to create the two waveforms with function generators, suck out the Y
values, then Interleave them into one array.
Basically, point one was the first point in waveform1 for Dac0, point two
was the first point of the second waveform for Dac1.
Then that gets wired to the output block where you tell it to scan both
channels.
Confusing as labview eh??

steve,
thanks.I just fixed it.It seems to work like you said.I was trying all combinations and the one you mentioned worked just right.
thanks,
Shiv

I tried ~all combinations too, that just happened to be one of them.
Too bad RTFM doesn't work, I couldn't find anything on it in there.
