I16
Writes binary data to the named waveform in onboard memory.
If streaming is enabled, you can write more data than the allocated waveform size in onboard memory. By default, a call to this node continues writing data from the position of the last sample written.
Inputs/Outputs

session in
Handle that identifies your instrument session previously allocated by Initialize With Channels.

channel name
Name of the waveform generator channel that the node uses.

waveform name
Name of the waveform.

waveform data
Array of data you want to load into the waveform.

error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error

session out
Reference to your instrument session to wire to the next node.

waveform name out
Name of the named waveform.

error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
Programming Patterns
You can change the write position and offset using Set Waveform Next Write Position.
Write Complex Binary 16 Data
This node can write complex data to a waveform in onboard memory on waveform generators with the OSP Enabled property set to True and the Data Processing Mode property set to Complex. To write complex data with this node, you must interleave the I/Q pairs.
