NI 6036E pcmcia, command problem

Hi all,

I am trying to use a command to generate an output 
waveform at NI 6036E pcmcia. 
Using command for generating output seems to be problematic in this card.
(This does not apply for getting input data.)

I think the problems are related to the trig_source parameters of the command. 
More specifically, I have examined, which trigger sources are supported by 
the analog output (subdevice=1, in this card), using the testing function 
int test_cmd_probe_src_mask(void). 

...and I get the following strange answer:

command source mask:
  start: now|follow|time|timer|ext
  scan_begin: unknown(0x00)
  convert: unknown(0x00)
  scan_end: unknown(0x00)
  stop: time|timer

On the contrary when I use analog input (this is subdevice 0 and operates 
perfectly fine), 
I get the following  expected answer.

command source mask:
  start: now|ext|int
  scan_begin: timer|ext
  convert: timer|ext
  scan_end: count
  stop: none|count

I suppose, I should have obtained a similar answer for the analog output as 
well, shouldn't I?

Does this analog output subdevice support commands?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis
