How can you output an AC analog signal from a USB-6009?

The trick is I would like to output an AC voltage at a user defined frequency and amplitude from the DAQ board.

Any thoughts would be very helpful...

What is the frequency range. As I'm sure you saw from the specs, the analog out is software timed with a max of about 150 Samples/sec. You would have to write one point of the waveform at a time and you would be subject to quite a bit of jitter.

I am doing an experiment testing ELF magnetic fields, the frequency range would be between 1 and 15 Hz with an amplitude of about 0.8 V.

Does anyone know if this can be accomplished by using this DAQ board?

Since you are sending such a low frequency, then yes with the above caution about jitter.

 

Create your waveform and pass it through a for loop with a DAQmx Write inside. Inside the while loop you will have a Delay function. The value of the delay will be the dt value from the waveform data type.
