/*
    UL call demonstrated:       	  ulDOutScan()

    Purpose:                          Continuously output user generated
                                      data on the first digital port

    Demonstration:                    Outputs user specified data
                                      on the first digital port

    Steps:digital
    1. Call ulGetDaqDeviceInventory() to get the list of available DAQ devices
    2. Call ulCreateDaqDevice() to to get a handle for the first DAQ device
    3. Verify the DAQ device has an digital output subsystem
    4. Verify the digital output subsystem has a hardware pacer
    5. Call ulConnectDaqDevice() to establish a UL connection to the DAQ device
    6. Call ulDConfigPort to configure the port for output
    7. Generate the data to be output
    8. Call ulDOutScan() to start the scan for the DIO subsystem
    9. Call ulDOutScanStatus() to check the status of the background operation
    10. Call ulDOutScanStop() to stop the background operation
    11. Call ulDisconnectDaqDevice() and ulReleaseDaqDevice() before exiting the process.
