You're looking at the FPGA pin assignment details, rather than the schematic level details.

As far as the FPGA is concerned, the interface to the DAC is via output-only pins. If you find and download the schematic for the kit you are using, it should contain details on how to access the Vout pin.

Cheers,

Thanks for your reply Dave.

I already checked the DAC schematic for the kit:

So when I saw this schematic, I realized I need to measure the pin in the board to see the analog output, because there isn't any pin associated with the DAC_OUT in the schematic. But I thought this isn't the best way to see the output, maybe there is a way to redirect the DAC_OUT to a GPIO pin.
