analog output timed

[salahnajm]

I've been searching through all the discussions and I know its a very simple question... but couldn't find an answer...

All I want is a simple vi file that has an analog signal output giving 5v for Xseconds and then 0v for Yseconds and keeps cycling continuously.

I have a BNC 2110 + PCI MIO 16E-4 runnign LabView 9

Thanks!!

Are you trying to do this through LabVIEW or SignalExpress (this is a SignalExpress forum, use the LabVIEW forum for quicker response to LabVIEW questions)?

If using SignalExpress, use the Create Analog Signal step to create a square wave with the characteristics you want, then use the DAQmx output step in repeat mode to continually generate the signal.

If using LabVIEW, use Square Waveform.vi to generate the waveform you want, then use the DAQ Assistant to create an output to loop on this signal.

You can try SignalExpress to set up your parameters, then generate code to LabVIEW if you want to use LabVIEW but would like some assistance in writing the code.

If you need more help, let us know.

Thanks, I used the Squarewaveform vi and worked great! exactly what I was looking for.
