Hello Harry,

If you are just getting started with your application, I would recommend using NI-DAQmx instead of the EasyIO functions that are included with Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).  NI-DAQmx is our newer, easier to use DAQ driver that includes installed documentation and examples and it supports your hardware.  It even has the DAQ Assistant which can generate example code for you.

You did not mention what version of CVI you are using, but you can view the help documentation.  You also can just open the individual function help by going to Help >> Function when the function panel you are interested in is open. You do not need to initialize the board, as the functions will take care of this for you.  You can use "AO Update Channel(s)" to output a voltage. 

Hope this helps,

Laura
