Wait until DACs have been preloaded.

19. Poll the AO_FIFO_Full_St bit and write data from the array into the
data FIFO whenever the data FIFO is not full.
while (there is more data to write)

This example generates a waveform using local buffer mode. This example
does not support the PCI-MIO-16XE-50 boards, because it has virtual
analog output FIFOs.
Initialize the data FIFO with a 100 point buffer. Output the buffer 50 times.
The update interval is 100 µs. Confirm operation with an oscilloscope.
1. Perform Analog Output Example 2 Steps 1 through 9.
2. Call

buffers. Configure the DAQ-STC for non-continuous operation
(AO will stop on BC_TC). Load the BC counter with 49 (output the
buffer 50 times). Load the UC counter with 100 (the first buffer
contains 100 points). Write 99 to UC Load Register A (each
subsequent buffer contains 100 points).
