Analog Signal Generation

Configure analog output channels and generate signals with your device

You can generate signals on analog output channels either synchronously or asynchronously. For synchronous writes, signal is generated in the foreground. For asynchronous writes, signal is generated in the background. Before you use analog output channels, see Hardware Discovery and Setup.

Functions

`addoutput`	Add output channel to device interface (Since R2020a)
`write`	Write output scans to hardware channels (Since R2020a)
`preload`	Queue scan data for device output (Since R2020a)
`flush`	Flush DataAcquisition input and output buffers (Since R2020a)
`readwrite`	Simultaneously read and write device channel data (Since R2020a)
`start`	Start DataAcquisition background operation (Since R2020a)
`stop`	Stop background operation (Since R2020a)
`removechannel`	Remove channel from device interface (Since R2020a)
