system memory. Programming the DMA controller and servicing
interrupts can take several milliseconds in some cases. During this
time, data accumulates in the FIFO for future retrieval. With a
larger FIFO, longer latencies can be tolerated. In the case of analog
output, a FIFO permits faster update rates, because the waveform
data can be stored in the FIFO ahead of time. This again reduces the
effect of latencies associated with getting the data from system
memory to the DAQ device.
