simple analog output with DAQmx in RT

[miaibis]

I am having trouble setting up a simple analog output signal to my PXI-6704. All I am trying to do is have a value from a slider(or any numerical input) be output as a voltage, updated at reasonable intervals. Timing is not critical, it just has to keep updating. If anyone could direct me to an example of this in LabVIEW RT with DAQ-mx it would be appreciated.

I am trying to do this as simply as possible, should I be using a waveform? an array? something else?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Adam

Nevermind, I got it to work with a double, it turned out to be a hardware problem anyway...

Hello Adam,

PXI-6704 is not supported in DAQmx. Please refer to the following link.

However, if you are interested in traditional, please go to NI Example finder, and search for PID, and the very first example - One Channel PID Control.vi - will give you a flavor of how to program a DAQ board in RT.

Actually the newest version of NI-DAQmx, ver 7.4 (i think) does support the PXI-6704 according to NI tech support. My system is running DAQmx ver 7.4 fine on the 6704.

Hello Adam,

You are right. I checked with the DAQ people and they told me they have ported over the 6704 board to DAQmx. I apologize for the wrong info given by me and and also for the one that is displayed in the link. I have already taken steps to get it changed.
