Write Named Waveform (Direct DMA)

Writes a specified amount of data from a Direct DMA-compatible device to the waveform in onboard memory.

The sample size of the data you write is shown by the following table.

Device Sample Size in Bytes
PXI-6541/6542 4
PXI-6544/6545 4
PXIe-6547/6548 4 in SDR mode; 2 in DDR mode
PXI/PXIe-655x 4
PXIe-656x 2 in SDR mode; 1 in DDR mode

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

waveform name

The name you want to associate with the allocated waveform memory.

datatype_icon

session in

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

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

samples to write

The number of samples to write from the Direct DMA-compatible data source.

datatype_icon

window address

The window address from the Direct DMA-compatible data source.

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.
