Connecting Analog Output Signals; Analog Output Timing Signals - National Instruments X Series User Manual

Connecting Analog Output Signals

AO <0..3> are the voltage output signals for analog output channels 0, 1, 2, and 3. AO GND is
the ground reference for AO <0..3>.
Figure 5-2 shows how to make analog output connections to the device.
