Allocate Named Waveform (G Dataflow)

Download Manual | Offline Viewer Required
Version:
Last Modified: September 26, 2018

Specifies the initial size of a named waveform so that it can be allocated in onboard memory before loading the associated data.

Programming Patterns

After this node allocates the size of the named waveform to onboard memory, data can then be loaded in smaller blocks using Write Waveform.

datatype_icon

waveform size

Size of the waveform in samples.

datatype_icon

session in

Handle that identifies your instrument session previously allocated by Initialize With Channels.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

datatype_icon

channel name

Name of the waveform generator channel that the node uses.

datatype_icon

waveform name

Name of the waveform.

datatype_icon

session out

Reference to your instrument session to wire to the next node.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
