9.
Configure the onboard memory of the device using the following
function and the array modified in step 3.
10. Start the task using the following function.
11. Measure the DC voltage of the analog output channel using the
multimeter in the appropriate range. Compare this value to the
limits (V) in Table 5 for – 40 dB device gain
.
