Testing Continuous Analog Output - Data Translation DT9850 Series User Manual

Testing Continuous Analog Output

To verify that the module can output a continuous analog signal, do the following:
1. Connect an oscilloscope or voltmeter to analog output channel 0 on the module. Refer to
page 36
2. In the QuickDataAcq application, choose Wave Generator from the Control menu.
3. Select the appropriate DT9850 Series module from the Board list box.
4. In the Waveform area, select Square to output a square wave, Sine to output a sine wave,
or Triangle to output a triangle waveform.
5. Change the Peak Voltage and Wave Frequency values, as desired, to construct the
waveform to output.
6. Click Start to output the waveform from analog output channel 0.
The application displays the waveform in the Wave Generator window, and on the attached
oscilloscope or voltmeter.
for an example of how to connect analog output signals.
