Write Named Waveform (WDT)

Writes the waveform to onboard memory as waveform data type data.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

waveform name

The name of the waveform to configure position.

You should name waveforms using this node under either of the following conditions:

  • You are using scripts.
  • You want to download multiple waveforms into the hardware.
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

data

Parameter that provides a waveform to generate.

This input accepts the following data types:

  • Waveform
  • 1D array of 8-bit unsigned integers
  • 1D array of 16-bit unsigned integers
  • 1D array of 32-bit unsigned integers
datatype_icon

use rate from waveform

A Boolean that specifies how the sample rate is computed.

True The sample rate from the WDT value is computed.
False The sample rate from the WDT value is not computed.

If the sample rate has been configured using the Configure Sample Clocknode, use rate from waveform overrides the sample rate.

Default value: False

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.
