Overview and Applications
National Instruments high-speed voltage output modules combine
the latest in PC technologies to deliver simultaneous, multichannel
updates for control and waveform output applications. Use these
modules in a variety of applications, including:
• Stimulus/response
• Power supply control
• High-speed, deterministic control
• Sensor/signal simulation
because you can define not only common waveforms such as square,
sine, or sawtooth but also complex waveforms. For instance, you are
able to create a sine wave that is overlaid with noise in which the
amplitude and noiseshape is user-defined. In practice, the waveform
is defined in a software buffer, within PC memory, and is streamed to
the voltage output device using DMA (direct memory access) data
transfers. Using DMA transfers, the amount of memory located
onboard the voltage output device is minimized and is swapped with
inexpensive PC memory.
Features
NI high-speed voltage output devices are versatile devices that
commonly replace several kinds of instruments including stand-
alone PID controllers, low-speed arbitrary waveform generators, and
function generators.
Real-Time Control
You can use NI high-speed voltage output devices with the LabVIEW
Real-Time Module to deliver real-time, deterministic control loop
execution. Because they are compatible with LabVIEW Real-Time,
common control algorithms, such as PID, are simple to implement
but, more importantly, you may prototype and implement complex
and cutting-edge control algorithms as well. High-performance
control, on the order of 8 PID loops running in excess of 20 kHz
each, is possible with this combination of hardware and software.
Each high-speed voltage output device offers multichannel
simultaneous updates and hardware-timed single-point updates.
Waveform Generation
These devices are capable of updating at rates up to 1 MS/s, giving
them the ability to generate waveforms up to 500 kHz. When using
these devices, you have complete control of each data point that is
updated on the output for each channel. This feature is significant
High-Speed Voltage Output – up to
1 MS/s/Channel, up to 16-Bit, up to 32 Channels
Multidevice Synchronization
Each high-speed voltage output device offers the ability to be master
or slave of a multidevice timing and triggering system. Use
integration technologies such as the RTSI bus, PXI trigger bus, and
PFI pins to trigger and synchronize to a wide variety of I/O types.
These I/O types range from analog input, image acquisition, motion
control, and high-speed digitizers to multifunction data acquisition
devices. With these integration infrastructures, you can create
powerful, custom test and control systems with ease.

Measurement Services Software
National Instruments measurement services software, built around
NI-DAQmx driver software, includes intuitive application
programming interfaces, configuration tools, I/O assistants, and
other tools designed to reduce system setup, configuration, and
development time. This software is included with your data
acquisition purchase. Helpful features include:
Automatic Code Generation
– DAQ Assistant is an interactive guide
that helps you navigate through configuring, testing, and programming
analog output tasks and automatically generates the necessary code
for LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio.
Cleaner Code Development
– Basic and advanced software functions
have been combined into one easy-to-use yet powerful set to help
you build cleaner code and move from basic to advanced
applications without replacing functions.
High-Performance Driver Engine
– NI-DAQmx delivers maximum
I/O system throughput with a multithreaded driver.
Test Panels
– With the Measurement & Automation Explorer
configuration utility, you can test all of your module functionality
before you begin development.
Scaled Channels
– Easily scale your voltage data into the proper
engineering units using the NI-DAQmx Measurement Ready virtual
channels by choosing from a list of common sensors and signals or
creating your own custom scale.
LabVIEW Integration
– All NI-DAQmx functions create the
waveform data type, which carries acquired data and timing
information directly into more than 400 LabVIEW built-in analysis
routines for display of results in engineering units on a graph.
