To generate digital output, insert a digital output TestScale module in any slot on the TestScale backplane. The generation specifications, such as the number of channels, channel configuration, update rate, and output range, are determined by the type of TestScale module used. For more information, refer to your module documentation.

With parallel digital output modules, you can do multiple software-timed tasks on a single module, as well as mix hardware-timed and software-timed digital output tasks on a single module. On serial digital output modules, you cannot mix hardware-timed and software-timed tasks, but you can run multiple software-timed tasks.

You may have a hardware-timed task or a software-timed task include channels from multiple modules, but a hardware-timed task may not include a mix of channels from both parallel and serial modules.
