Configure Data Position
Configures the various ways the data is clocked relative to the Sample clock.
Inputs/Outputs

session in
Instrument session obtained from the Initialize Acquisition Sessionnode, the Initialize Generation Sessionnode, or the Initialize External Calibrationnode.

channel list
The channels you want to apply settings to. Leave channel list blank to apply to all channels.

position
The edge of the Sample clock signal used to time the operation. You can also configure the device to generate data at a configurable delay past each rising edge of the Sample clock.
| Sample Clock Rising Edge |
The device samples or generates data on the rising edge of the Sample clock. |
| Sample Clock Falling Edge |
The device samples or generates data on the falling edge of the Sample clock. |
| Delay from Sample Clock Rising Edge |
The device samples or generates data with a delay from the rising edge of the Sample clock. Specify the delay using the delay parameter of the niHSDIO Configure Data Position Delay VI. |
Configuring position with your hardware
Certain devices have sample clock frequency limitations when a custom delay is used. Refer to the device documentation for more information about these limitations.
To configure a delay on PXI/PXIe-656X devices, you must delay all channels on the device. NI-HSDIO returns an error if you apply a delay to only a partial channel list.

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
Handle that identifies the session in all subsequent node calls.
The session out parameter is obtained from the Initialize Acquisition Sessionnode or the Initialize Generation Sessionnode.

error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
