Fast reading and writing data via NI board

Hi, all!
I have a question about the PCI-6229 and how manualy from MATLAB to operate the input and output analog channels. I would talk about galvo-galvo scanning.
I need to set two coordinates for mirrors (2 output channels) and get one value from photomultiplier (one input channel).
1) If I try do this directly in cicle like this:
mydaq = daq.createSession('ni');
addAnalogOutputChannel(mydaq, 'dev2', 0:1, 'Voltage');
addAnalogInputChannel(mydaq, 'dev2', 'ai0', 'Voltage');
Xmin = -5;
Xmax = 5;
Ymin = -5;
Ymax = 5;
Xresolution = 128;
Yresolution = 128;
tt = 0;
tic
for iX = Xmin : (Xmax - Xmin)/(Xresolution-1) : Xmax
for iY = Ymin : (Ymax - Ymin)/(Yresolution-1) : Ymax
outputSingleScan(mydaq, [iX iY]);
PMTvalue = mydaq.inputSingleScan;
end
end
tt = toc
I see that run time is very large:
tt =
180.0960
It is very slow as you see. (No any two frames per second). (And we want about 30 frames per second).
2) The faster way as I find is to use queueOutputData() like that:
mydaq = daq.createSession('ni');
addAnalogOutputChannel(mydaq, 'dev2', 0:1, 'Voltage');
rate = 300e3;
mydaq.Rate = rate;
f = 30;
duration = 10;
t = (1:(duration*rate))/rate;
outputData(:,1) = 1.9*sin(8*pi*f*t + 0*pi/2)';
outputData(:,2) = 1.9*cos(7*pi*f*t)';
queueOutputData(mydaq, outputData);
startBackground(mydaq);
But in that case we cannot put in querry reading the input data.
The question is: what is the correct and fastest workaround here?
