I have some concerns about using DasyLAB with the USB-3104. My goal is to output a sinusoidal wave to channel 1 at a frequency of 1 KHz. I was wondering if there are any examples of analog output worksheets available, specifically with frequencies of 100Hz and 1KHz. Having such examples would greatly help me in understanding how to effectively utilize DasyLAB, as I am relatively new to it and want to grasp all its functionalities.
I connected my USB-3104 to an oscilloscope, but unfortunately, the oscilloscope did not display the expected output. In DasyLAB, I selected a sine wave output to be read by the oscilloscope, using a generator to manage global variables and output them channel-wise. I also included a recorder with a digital meter in my worksheet, as shown in the attached image.
I connected two wires, one to VOUT0 (red wire) and another to AGND (black wire), which were then linked to the oscilloscope. However, the oscilloscope displayed either square waves, static, or very low-quality sine waves. It almost seemed as if DasyLAB was simulating the output rather than reflecting the correct waveform on the oscilloscope.
I'm wondering if this issue is specific to the USB-3104, or if there are other devices that might better suit my needs. Any guidance or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance!
