niHSDIO Configure Idle State VI
- Updated2023-02-21
- 6 minute(s) read
Sets the state of the channels when the dynamic generation operation is idle. The operation may be idle when the generation operation completes normally, when the generation operation pauses from an active Pause trigger, or when the generation operation terminates because of an underflow error. You can specify idle state in either a binary or a string format.

idle state specifies the idle state of a dynamic generation operation. This expression is composed of characters:
The first character in idle state corresponds to the first channel in channel list. The number of characters in pattern must equal the number of channels specified in channel list, or the VI returns an error. For example if you are trying to make three channels tristate then the idle state control needs to be "ZZZ" without any commas or spaces. |

Idle State (U32)
This instance of niHSDIO Configure Idle State uses a binary format to only represent logic high and logic low. If you require more choices for your idle state, use the String instance of the niHSDIO Configure Idle State VI.

idle state specifies the idle state across all channels configured for dynamic generation. idle state defines the bit mask representing the idle state. High is specified with a 1, and low is specified with a 0. If you need to specify values other than high or low, use the niHSDIO Configure Idle State (String) instance of this VI. Each binary digit of this value is applied to the corresponding channel if it is configured for dynamic generation. |
