The GalvoAnalog class controls a Galvo mirror by setting its
position through a fixed output voltage using an NI (National
Instruments) DAQ device. The Galvo mirror is positioned by adjusting
the analog output voltage within a specified range (-10V to 10V).
The class sets the galvo mirror to a fixed angle corresponding to
the voltage specified by setVoltage. See also the GalvoDigital
class which does dynamic or continuous scanning.

obj=mic.GalvoAnalog('Dev1','ao1');
- Initializes the GalvoAnalog object using the specified NI device (e.g., 'Dev1') and analog output channel (e.g., 'ao1').
- delete: Cleans up the object and sets the output voltage to 0V.
- exportState: Exports the current state of the Galvo.
- setVoltage: Sets the Galvo position by adjusting the output voltage.
