Hi Seth,

Per your request, I’ve added support for dynamic analog output on NIDAQ devices. Usage is very simple: Create a channel of type `nidaq_analog_output_voltage`, and set its `voltage` parameter to the name of the variable from which to read the output voltage. When the device is started, the voltage on the selected channel will be set to the value provided by the variable. To change the output voltage while the device is running, just change the value of the variable. (See the attached example.)

This will be in tonight’s nightly build. If you run in to any issues, please let me know.

Cheers,  
Chris
