How to output continuous sin, square, triangle, pulse or any waveform through a DAQ Using USB 6008/9 & USB 6211 DAQs
First: Using USB 6008/9 DAQs
Using USB 6008/9 DAQs Unfortunately USB 6008/9 Can not generate continues waveforms but it can generate: • A pulse with pulse width>500 msec through an analog output as shown in the next example
Generating a pulse with pulse widths>500msec using USB-6008 DAQs through an analog output channel Pulse through an analog output with pulse width>500 msec
Set to 1 sample on demand
Second: Using USB 6211 DAQs
Using USB 6211 DAQ By USB 6211 DAQ you can generate: 1- Up to two continues (sin, triangle, pulse and square) waveforms through any of the two analog output channels. Using this DAQ you can generate a perfect continuous signal up to 30 kHz. 2- Extra two square waves (or pulses) through the counter output channels with frequency reaches 10 MHz.

Generating a continuous (sin, triangle or Generating any signal (sine, square or square) waveforms using analog output triangle) using USB-6211 channel in thethe USB-6211 DAQDaq You can change the phase too
You can select Any signal VI
Set to Continuous Samples
When frequency Is less than 30kHz The generated signal is very good in shape

Note • You can change the amplitude, phase and the off set of the signal waveforms generated from the analog output channel. • The square (or pulse) generate from the counter output channels (2 channels) its amplitude is fixed and between 0 and 5V. And you can not control the phase
