- Updated2025-07-28
- 1 minute(s) read
Specifies the number of samples to acquire or generate for each channel if SampQuant.SampMode is Finite Samples. If SampQuant.SampMode is Continuous Samples, NI-DAQmx uses this value to determine the buffer size .
To configure an analog output task to generate a finite number of cycles of a waveform, set this property to (desired number of cycles) * (number of samples per cycle).
This property affects the buffer allocation for the task.
