Configure Data Position

Configures the various ways the data is clocked relative to the Sample clock.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

session in

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

datatype_icon

channel list

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

datatype_icon

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.

Note Delay from Sample Clock Rising Edge has more jitter than the rising or falling edge values.
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.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

datatype_icon

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.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
