Wait until the specified timestamp has a value. Use this VI to ensure the timestamp has a valid value to prevent an error when querying a timestamp value.

Inputs/Outputs
task/channels in
—
task/channels in is the name of the task or a list of virtual channels to which the operation applies. If you provide a list of virtual channels, NI-DAQmx creates a task automatically.
timestamp
—
timestamp specifies the timestamp type to wait on.
timeout
—
timeout (sec) specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for a valid timestamp. This VI returns an error if the time elapses. The default is 10. If you set timeout (sec) to -1, the VI waits indefinitely.
error in
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
task out
—
task out is a reference to the task after this VI or function runs. If you wired a channel or list of channels to task/channels in, NI-DAQmx creates this task automatically.
