DAQPad-6070E IEEE-1394 async A/D, D/A operation?

[GJon]

A vi is started to have the A/D wait for a 0.5 volt level and capture 10000 samples on ACH0, and then a vi is started so that the D/A outputs a Haversine pulse of 4 volt amplitude into ACH0. Can the 6070E treat the two operations independantly and therefore capture the Haversine waveform? Or do the A/D and D/A have to be configured in the same vi, and both triggered some how?

Hello;

In case you don't need to synchronize or correlate the Analog Input task with the Analog Output task, and if your two VIs won't access the same NI-DAQ functions on the same time,you can run 2 VIs independently.

Anyway, it's a better practice to compact both tasks in one single VI for maitenance purposes.

Hope this helps.
