buffer is an array of integer values that are converted to voltages by DACs. If your device has
12-bit DACs, the data ranges from 0 to 4,095 in unipolar mode and from –2,048 to 2,047 in
bipolar mode. If your device has 16-bit DACs, the data ranges from 0 to 65,535 in unipolar
mode and from –32,768 to +32,767 in bipolar mode.

Note
For all devices except the DAQArb devices, data points for the output channels
need to be interleaved when you set up the buffer parameter.
need to be interleaved when you set up the buffer parameter.
The DSA devices have 18-bit DACs and operate only in bipolar mode. Data ranges from
–131,072 to +131,071. For DSA devices each buffer element is 32 bits wide. Each data point
goes in the upper 18 bits of its buffer element. You should set the lower 14 bits to zero.You
can move each data point into the upper 18 bits with a left shift operation or by multiplying it
by 16,384.

Refer to the mode parameter description to learn more about different modes and staging.
count is the number of points in your buffer. When you use interleaved waveform generation,
count should be a multiple of numChans and not less than 2 * numChans. When you use
double-buffered interleaved waveform generation, count should not be less than 4 *
numChans.
