WaveDAC8 Variable frequency

[Anonymous]

Hello. I wanted to be able to adjust the frequency of the WaveDAC8 with a resolution of 1Hz best case scenario via software while running. I know there are a lot of parameters like WaveDAC resolution, max waveform bandwidth etc, that can vary results, but for now I am happy with just approval of the following method in general.

Attached is a picture to adjust the frequency using a timer. It compiles and seems good so far. Is this a good method to achieve basic adjustment of the WaveDAC via software while running or is there a better method?

what is the frequency range would you like to get? You may use Clock Component, use API to change its clkDivider and fracDivider.

Thanks,

Ryan

Thank you for your replies. I was hoping for a max freq of 60Khz.

I didn’t know about that DDS component. I will try it.

You may consider DDS component instead of timer for fine tuning. Check App note and examples here
