How to generate a serial signal with either a function generator or DAQ card?

[atl123]

Basically the signal would have a high voltage level of +5V and a low level of 0V.  A '1' pulse would have a larger pulse width than a '0' pulse.  I am trying to determine how to get one of the cards that I have to produce a signal.  I have a Tabor Electronics Arbitrary Generator card and a NI DAQ card.  I believe my logic on the pulse width is correct, I just can't seem to get either card to work.  I wrote a program trying to get the DAQ to work and I could not determine why, so I wrote a program using the TE card and it produces errors also.  Help?

atl123,

Which NI-DAQ card are you using?  This will dictate how to go about peforming your task.

I can give you some tips for using the DAQ Device.  First, you need to make sure you have NI-DAQ installed.  You can get the most recent version here.  To create an output a signal, you've got a couple options.  You could use analog output, digital output, or counter output.  Depending on what programming language you want to use, there are bunch of shipping examples for each of those options.  In LabVIEW, go to Help>>Find Examples.  Then navigate to Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx.  Hope this helps.
