Configuring an Analog Output Task
If your DAQ device has analog output channels, you can use Measure
to generate analog output signals based on values in your spreadsheet.
Analog output tasks operate exactly opposite of analog input tasks.
You specify an area on your worksheet that contains data values, and
Measure converts these values to voltages and outputs them through an
analog output channel of your DAQ device. For more information on
analog output tasks, refer to Chapter 5, Analog Output Reference.
