If an extra sample clock pulse occurs between calls to this method, the second call returns an error or warning and waits for the next sample clock pulse. Use the ConvertLateErrorsToWarnings property to specify whether this method returns errors or warnings.

Use this method to ensure I/O cycles complete within sample clock periods. National Instruments recommends you use this method for certain applications only.
