DigitalSingleChannelReader.BeginMemoryOptimizedReadMultiSamplePortUInt32 Method (Int32, AsyncCallback, Object, UInt32[], ReallocationPolicy)
Begins an asynchronous read of one or more 32-bit unsigned integer samples from a single DIChannel in a task.

Namespace:  NationalInstruments.DAQmx
Assembly:  NationalInstruments.DAQmx (in NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll) Version: 20.7.40.49302

Syntax

public IAsyncResult BeginMemoryOptimizedReadMultiSamplePortUInt32(
	int numberOfSamples,
	AsyncCallback callback,
	Object state,
	uint[] data,
	ReallocationPolicy policy
)
Public Function BeginMemoryOptimizedReadMultiSamplePortUInt32 ( 
	numberOfSamples As Integer,
	callback As AsyncCallback,
	state As Object,
	data As UInteger(),
	policy As ReallocationPolicy
) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

numberOfSamples
Type: SystemInt32
The number of samples to read. If you set numberOfSamples to -1 for a continuous acquisition, the read retrieves all samples available in the buffer at the time of the read. If you set numberOfSamples to -1 for a finite acquisition, the read behavior is set by the ReadAllAvailableSamples property of the DaqStream you are reading from.
callback
Type: SystemAsyncCallback
An optional asynchronous callback that is called when the read is complete. Specify if you do not want a callback when the read is complete.
state
Type: SystemObject
A user-provided object that distinguishes this asynchronous read request from other requests. Use this parameter to provide information to the callback. Specify if you do not need to pass any additional information to the callback.
data
Type: SystemUInt32
An initialized 1D array of 32-bit unsigned integer samples that contains the read data. Each element in the array corresponds to a sample from the channel.
policy
Type: NationalInstruments.DAQmxReallocationPolicy
Dictates the reallocation behavior of the read operation. Refer to ReallocationPolicy for more information.

Return Value

Type: IAsyncResult
An IAsyncResult that represents the asynchronous call.

Remarks

If the data buffer is large enough to hold the number of samples requested, this overload attempts to reuse existing memory allocated from the array to acquire data. This results in more efficient memory allocation when performing multiple reads with a continuous digital input task.

To get the read data or any exceptions that occurred during an asynchronous read initiated with this method, call EndMemoryOptimizedReadMultiSamplePortUInt32(IAsyncResult, Int32) with the returned IAsyncResult.

NI-DAQmx scales the returned data to the units of the measurement, including any custom scaling you apply to the channel. You specify these units with the create channel methods or the DAQ Assistant.

NI-DAQmx read and write methods time out after the amount of time specified by the Timeout property on the task you are reading from or writing to.

Refer to NI-DAQmx Readers and Writers for more information about memory limitations in NI-DAQmx read methods.
