NI 6238/6239 User Manual
ao/SampleClockTimebase is not available as an output on the I/O
connector.
You might use ao/SampleClockTimebase if you want to use an external
sample clock signal, but need to divide the signal down. If you want to use
an external sample clock signal but do not need to divide the signal, then
you should use ao/SampleClock rather than ao/SampleClockTimebase.
You can use an M Series device in the following analog output applications.
• Single-point (on-demand) generation
• Finite generation
• Continuous generation
• Waveform generation
You can perform these generations through programmed I/O, interrupt, or
DMA data transfer mechanisms. Some of the applications also use start
triggers and pause triggers.
