  1. Useful LJTicks for analog outputs are the DAC and the OutBuff.

LabJack also makes several accessories to assist in producing a variety of analog output signals. Useful accessories for analog outputs are:

  • LJTick-DAC - Provides devices with additional higher voltage analog outputs.
  • LJTick-OutBuff - Allows devices to output voltages with higher current demands.

For more information about our devices analog output systems please look at their datasheets.
