Ramping down in niDAQ_IO #6

Closed brambozz closed 5 years ago

Right now we append a single 0 to any data sent to the nidaq, such that you never end up with a nonzero voltage on any analog out pin. However, maybe it is better to change this to a ramp down at a predetermined speed. We have to think about this, also for the adwin. For now not a priority.

With the new driver in v1.2, this issue has been resolved. There are dedicated reset functions that take care of slowly ramping the device down. It should never be included in an IO function, because for things like grid search, you may not want to ramp up and down in between. This means it is important for the experimenter to take this into account!
