niHSDIO stPMU External Force Control VI
- Updated2023-02-21
- 5 minute(s) read
Connects or disconnects the channels specified in the channel list parameter to or from the EXTERNAL FORCE terminal (either on the AUX I/O connector or the REMOTE SENSE connector on the device front panel, depending on the value of the connectors parameter). This VI does not force a voltage or current by itself; it only connects NI-HSDIO to an external device.
If you have not yet committed your session, calling this VI implicitly commits your session. If you have already committed your session by calling a VI such as the niHSDIO Commit VI, the niHSDIO Initiate VI, the niHSDIO Read Waveform VI, the niHSDIO Write Named Waveform VI, or the other Software-Timed PMU VIs, this VI will not commit your session again.

channel list specifies the channels being configured. Specify multiple channels by using a channel list or a channel range. A channel list is a comma (,) separated sequence of channel names (for example, 0,2 specifies channels 0 and 2). A channel range is a lower bound channel followed by a hyphen (-) or colon (:) followed by an upper bound channel (for example, 0-2 specifies channels 0, 1, and 2). Use PFI1 or PFI2 to specify a valid PFI channel. Use DDC_CLKOUT or STROBE to specify a valid clocking terminal. If you configure multiple channels with this parameter, all those channels have the same settings. Selecting no channels for this parameter returns an error. |
