NI USB-6001 background analog output

I need a data acquisition device (DAQ) capable of sending Matlab programmed analog outputs over the [-5,5] V range. I am considering the NI USB-6001 as a cost-effective solution.

Matlab summarises the NI DAQ hardware support here (https://uk.mathworks.com/hardware-support/nidaqmx.html) and notes "The NI USB 6001 device is unable to generate foreground analog output".

Is the the NI USB 6001 device able to generate background analog output using Matlab?

I am using Matlab 2018b as this supports Matlab's Data Acquisition Toolbox with NI USB-6001.

Use the appropriate function for background data acquisiton - https://uk.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2018b/daq/ref/startbackground.html
