Chapter 5 Analog Output

ao/SampleClockTimebase is not available as an output on the I/O
connector.
You might use ao/SampleClockTimebase if you want to use an external
sample clock signal, but need to divide the signal down. If you want to use
an external sample clock signal but do not need to divide the signal, then
you should use ao/SampleClock rather than ao/SampleClockTimebase.
Getting Started with AO Applications in Software
You can use an M Series device in the following analog output applications.
• Single-point (on-demand) generation
• Finite generation
• Continuous generation
• Waveform generation
You can perform these generations through programmed I/O, interrupt, or
DMA data transfer mechanisms. Some of the applications also use start
triggers and pause triggers.
Note For more information about programming analog output applications and triggers in
software, refer to the NI-DAQmx Help or the LabVIEW 8.x Help.
