How can I output a sine wave from my KUSB-3102 , 3108 or 3116 module?

Product(s):

USB Modules: KUSB-3100 Series: KUSB-3102, KUSB-3108, KUSB-3116

Question:I would like to perform continuous analog output using either the KUSB-3102 or KUSB-3108.I can output single values and then read in single analog values, but am unable to perform continuous outputs.How can I get sine wave values to output?

Answer:The KUSB-3102 and KUSB-3108 modules will not output continuous analog values for continuous sine functions. In order to get something close to a sine wave output, the user will need to set a single value output call (put single value) within a loop or pulse, in their program. This means that the outputs will be system and software dependent. The output values may not be evenly spaced.However: Note that the KUSB-3116 can output waveforms from its DACs.
