How to generate a sinewave with at-mio-16de

[mcoconnor]

I have an at-mio-16de Daq card. I want to generate a sine wave on the analog o/p. I believe that I would use the WFM_load function. I do not understand 1) how to load a buffer for this function and 2) what mode I am supposed to use. The modes in the help file all say the description is for the DAQArb 5411. I am using visual basic for my app.

There are a number of examples which ship with the NI-DAQ driver which perform an analog output using the WFM commands. If you installed support for Visual C or Visual Basic when you installed the NI-DAQ driver you will find examples in the \Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples directory. You didn't mention what language you were using; however, if you look in the VisualC\ao subdirectory you will find manu examples which demonstrate generating a waveform from your device. Use these examples in conjunction with the NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual, which can be downloaded from http://www.ni.com/manuals, and you will be able to better understand what is happening in these examples.
