WaitForValidTimestamp(TimestampEvent)

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.DAQmx

public PrecisionDateTime WaitForValidTimestamp(TimestampEvent timestampEvent)

Remarks

To avoid an exception, use this method to ensure a timestamp has a valid value before querying it.

To use this method, you must first enable timestamps for the timestamp event type specified by timestampEvent . The following code demonstrates how to do this for StartTrigger.

// Using an instance of Task called 'myTask'.
myTask.Triggers.StartTrigger.TimestampEnable = true;
myTask.Start();
myTimestamp = myTask.WaitForValidTimestamp(TimestampEvent.StartTrigger);

' Using an instance of Task called 'myTask'.
myTask.Triggers.StartTrigger.TimestampEnable = True
myTask.Start()
myTimestamp = myTask.WaitForValidTimestamp(TimestampEvent.StartTrigger)

Parameters

Returns

The requested timestamp value.
