niHSDIO Configure Initial State VI
- Updated2023-02-21
- 6 minute(s) read
Sets the Initial state for a dynamic generation operation.
The Initial state of each channel is driven after the operation is initiated using the niHSDIO Initiate. Channels remain unchanged until the operation is initiated. The Initial state is active after the session is initiated and until the start trigger generates the first waveform sample. You can specify initial state in either a binary format or a string.

Initial State (String)
This instance of niHSDIO Configure Initial State uses a string format to represent the initial state of a dynamic generation session.

instrument handle identifies your instrument session. instrument handle is obtained from the niHSDIO Init Acquisition Session VI, the niHSDIO Init Generation Session VI, or the niHSDIO Init Ext Cal VI. |

initial state specifies the initial state of a dynamic generation operation. This expression is composed of characters:
The first character in initial state corresponds to the first channel in channel list. The number of characters in the 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. |

Initial State (U32)
This instance of niHSDIO Configure Initial State uses a binary format (1s and 0s) to represent the initial state of a dynamic generation session. If you require more choices for your Initial state, use the String instance of the niHSDIO Configure Initial State VI.

initial state specifies the initial state of a dynamic generation operation. initial state defines the bit mask representing the initial state. High is specified with a 1, and low is specified with a 0. If you need to specify values other than high and low, use the niHSDIO Configure Initial State (String) instance of this VI. |
