DACs
Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) convert digital codes to analog
voltages.
DAC FIFO
The DAC FIFO enables analog output waveform generation. It is a
first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory buffer between the computer and the
DACs that allows you to download all the points of a waveform to your
board without host computer interaction.
