Configures when the DAQ device transfers data to a peripheral device, using the onboard Sample Clock of the DAQ device to control burst handshake timing and exporting that clock for use by the peripheral device.

Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png samples per channel —

    samples per channel specifies the number of samples to acquire or generate for each channel in the task if sample mode is Finite Samples. If sample mode is Continuous Samples, NI-DAQmx uses this value to determine the buffer size. This VI returns an error if the specified value is negative.

  • ci32.png sample mode —

    sample mode specifies if the task acquires or generates samples continuously or if it acquires or generates a finite number of samples.

    Continuous Samples (10123)

    Acquire or generate samples until the DAQmx Stop Task VI runs.

    Finite Samples (10178)

    Acquire or generate a finite number of samples.

    Hardware Timed Single Point (12522)

    Acquire or generate samples continuously using hardware timing without a buffer. Hardware timed single point sample mode is supported only for the sample clock and change detection timing types.

  • cgenclassrntag.png 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.

  • cdbl.png sample clock rate —

    sample clock rate specifies in hertz the rate of the Sample Clock.

  • cdaqmxscale.png sample clock output terminal —

    sample clock output terminal specifies the terminal to which to export the Sample Clock.

  • ci32.png sample clock pulse polarity —

    sample clock pulse polarity specifies the polarity of the exported Sample Clock.

    Active High (10095)

    Active high.

    Active Low (10096)

    Active low.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.

    The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, the VI or function runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

  • ci32.png pause when —

    pause when specifies whether the task pauses while the trigger signal is high or low.

    High (10192)

    Pause the task while the trigger signal is high.

    Low (10214)

    Pause the task while the trigger signal is low.

  • ci32.png ready for transfer event active level —

    ready for transfer event active level specifies the polarity of the Ready for Transfer Event.

    Active High (10095)

    Active high.

    Active Low (10096)

    Active low.

  • igenclassrntag.png 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.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, error out describes the error status that this VI or function produces.

    Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
