NI-DAQ™mx C Reference

Sample Timing Type

Data Type: int32
Description: Specifies the type of sample timing to use for the task.

Valid values

DAQmx_Val_SampClk 10388 Acquire or generate samples on the specified edge of the sample clock.
DAQmx_Val_BurstHandshake 12548 Determine sample timing using burst handshaking between the device and a peripheral device.
DAQmx_Val_Handshake 10389 Determine sample timing by using digital handshaking between the device and a peripheral device.
DAQmx_Val_Implicit 10451 Configure only the duration of the task.
DAQmx_Val_OnDemand 10390 Acquire or generate a sample on each read or write operation. This timing type is also referred to as static or software-timed.
DAQmx_Val_ChangeDetection 12504 Acquire samples when a change occurs in the state of one or more digital input lines. The lines must be contained within a digital input channel.
DAQmx_Val_PipelinedSampClk 14668 Device acquires or generates samples on each sample clock edge, but does not respond to certain triggers until a few sample clock edges later. Pipelining allows higher data transfer rates at the cost of increased trigger response latency. Refer to the device documentation for information about which triggers pipelining affects. This timing type allows handshaking with some devices using the Pause trigger, the Ready for Transfer event, or the Data Active event. Refer to the device documentation for more information.
