DT9837 Series Modules A/D D/A
a
a. The D/A subsystem is not supported by the DT9837B module.
DIN DOUT C/T TACH QUAD
Single-Value Operation Support
SupportsSingleValue Yes Yes
b
b. To perform a single value analog output operation, ensure that no analog input operations are running or an error will be
reported.
Simultaneous Single-Value Output Operations
SupportsSetSingleValues
Continuous Operation Support
SupportsContinuous Yes Yes
c
c. For the DT9837, if you want to output data from the analog output channel while acquiring analog input data, ensure that you
set up and start the analog output operation before starting the analog input operation, or an error will be reported.
Continuous Operation until Trigger
SupportsContinuousPreTrigger
Continuous Operation before & after Trigger
SupportsContinuousPrePostTrigger
Waveform Operations Using FIFO Only
SupportsWaveformModeOnly Yes
d
d. The DT9837A and DT9837C modules support continuous analog output operations in addition to waveform mode.
Simultaneous Start List Support
SupportsSimultaneousStart Yes
