How do you output an array

Your installation disk that came with the DSK includes Target Content with example programs. One is a BIOS-based example called audio. Another is a BSL-based example called LED. You could use either of these to output data. With the LED one you could bit-bang your data out serially using the BSL LED functions then touch your scope probe to one side of the LED.

If you do not have the installation disk, you can go to Spectrum Digital's website to download the Target Content.

Best of luck to you.

I loaded the LED project and I dont really see how you could use the LED commands DSK6416_LED_ON /OFF to solve this issue.

I am trying to output a signal with a 64bit resolution that is currently stored in a double floating point array.

For a closer answer to what you want, you will need to provide more detail on what you want. You can output a signal on an LED using code like the following, which I have just written here without compiling or testing, because I doubt it is what you want, so some of the syntax is probably wrong. And it is not a very well sync'd UART-type signal, but it will output an array which is what you asked for.

unsigned long long bits;
double MyArray[CNT];
union Convert_tag {
    double dbl;
    unsigned long long ull;
} Convert;

void main()
{
    int i,j;

    /* Initialize the board support library, must be first BSL call */
    DSK6416_init();

    /* Initialize the LED and DIP switch modules of the BSL */
    DSK6416_LED_init();
    DSK6416_DIP_init();
    DSK6416_LED_off(3);
   
    for ( i = 0; i < CNT; i++ )
    {
        Convert.dbl = MyArray[i];
        ullBits = Convert.ull;

        DSK6416_LED_on(3);  // start bit
        DSK6416_waitusec(20);

        for ( j = 0; j < 64; j++ )
        {
            if ( ullBits & ( 1 << j ) )
                /* bit is 1, turn LED #3 on */
                DSK6416_LED_on(3);
            else
                /* bit is 0, turn LED #3 off */
                DSK6416_LED_off(3);
            DSK6416_waitusec(20);
        }
        DSK6416_LED_off(3);  // stop bit
        DSK6416_waitusec(100);
    }  
}
