Digital-to-Analog Converter

The DAC component provides functionality for Digital-to-Analog Conversion, allowing users to set output values on specified channels. This component can be configured with various parameters, such as maximum output values and sampling rates, to accommodate different conversion needs.

Parameters
name type default min. max. description
channel Integer 0 0 100 The channel of the DAC
max Integer 10000 1 2147483647 The maximum value of the value input port
sample rate Integer 1000000 1 2147483647 The sampling rate for modulation modes with low-pass filters
In Ev. Description
set Initiates setting the DAC output value.
Data In Description
value Input value for the DAC channel.
Out Ev. Description
-- Indicates the completion of a set operation.
