Double Buffering on PCI-6713DAQ Card

[ChandraB]

Hi,
I'm novice to this area. I need to write an application which displays continous signal (analog)data. I need to display 8 channels each containg a byte of data every 10 ms.

Should I go for single buffer or double buffer.

Please help me .

Thank you

Chandra

Chandra,

If you want to output a set number of updates then stop, you would want to use single buffer.

If you are looking for continuous generation then double buffering will be the preferred method. There are examples of both at:

They will be a great help in getting you started. I recommend specifically looking at the Double Buffered Waveform Analog Output example in V C++.

Hope this helps.
