1 Introduction
The DAQ/PXI-2500 SERIES is an advanced analog output card
based on the 32-bit PCI/PXI architecture. High performance
designs and state-of-the-art technology make this card ideal for
waveform generation, industrial proc-ess control, and signal analy-
sis applications in medical, process control, etc.
