Programs the hardware for the data operation using the properties you select. Before entering the committed state, most property values are stored in software only; these values have not yet been programmed to the hardware. After the session is committed, the hardware is configured.

Dynamic
This instance of niHSDIO Commit configures the hardware for a dynamic operation. Start the operation with the niHSDIO Initiate VI. If you commit while the dynamic operation is in progress, you receive an error.
For many operations it is not necessary to explicitly use the Dynamic instance of the niHSDIO Commit VI because the following VIs implicitly commit: niHSDIO Initiate, niHSDIO Read Waveform, niHSDIO Write Named Waveform, and niHSDIO Write Script.

Static
This instance of niHSDIO Commit configures the hardware for a static operation. For most static operations, it is not necessary to explicitly use the Static instance of the niHSDIO Commit VI because the following VIs implicitly commit: niHSDIO Read Static (U32) and niHSDIO Write Static (U32).

Details
Committing programs only the hardware properties that have changed since previous commits.
![]() |
Note Committing some properties (for example, voltage levels), may have immediate effects on the signals at the device connectors. |
![]() |
Note Before committing a session that requires an external clock, ensure the external clock is available. Otherwise, NI-HSDIO returns an error that the device cannot find or lock to the external clock. |
