2D I32

Retrieves data from multiple channels and records.

This function returns a two-dimensional array of binary 32-bit waveforms.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

session in

Handle that identifies the NI-SCOPE instrument session as previously allocated by Initialize With Options .

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

channels

The channel(s) from which to acquire data.

Channel String Syntax

This input parameter has the following syntax options:
  • A single channel, such as 0
  • A list of channels, such as 0,1 or 3,2,1,0
  • A range of channels, such as 0-7 or 0:7
  • A combination of channels from multiple instruments, such as PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3,PXI1Slot4/2-3
Note The order of channels in a list is important. The data for each channel is returned in the order the channels occur in the list.
datatype_icon

numsamples

The maximum number of samples to fetch for each waveform.

This function reads the actual record length and attempts to acquire all available samples. If the function fails to complete within the timeout period, the function returns an error. If the acquisition finishes with fewer points than requested, some devices return partial data if the acquisition finished, was aborted, or a timeout of 0 was used.

Default value: -1

Fetching All Available Samples

Use -1 for this parameter if you want to fetch all available samples.

datatype_icon

timeout

The time, in seconds, to wait for the data to be acquired.

Default value: 5

Alternate Uses

Use 0 for this parameter to fetch whatever is currently available. Use -1 for this parameter to imply an infinite timeout.

datatype_icon

session out

Reference to the NI-SCOPE instrument session to pass to the next node in the program.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

datatype_icon

waveform

Returns a two-dimensional array of binary data.

Waveform Order

If you specify a channel list, NI-SCOPE returns the waveforms in the list order. NI-SCOPE returns these records sequentially, so all record 0 waveforms are first.For example, with a two-channel list, you would have the following index values:index 0 = record 0, channel 0index 1 = record 0, channel 1index 2 = record 1, channel 0index 3 = record 1, channel 1
datatype_icon

waveform info

The timing and scaling information about the waveform.

datatype_icon

actualSamples

The actual number of samples in the acquired waveform.

Note The number returned in actualSamples may be less than numSamples if the number you request is not available.
datatype_icon

absoluteInitialX

The timestamp, in seconds, of the first fetched sample.

This timestamp is comparable between records and acquisitions; devices that do not support this parameter use 0 for this output.
datatype_icon

relativeInitialX

The time, in seconds, from the trigger to the first sample in the acquired waveform.

datatype_icon

xIncrement

The time, in seconds, between two samples in the acquired waveform.

datatype_icon

offset

The offset factor of the given channel.

Use for scaling binary data with the following formula: voltage = binary data x gain factor + offset
datatype_icon

gain

The gain factor of the given channel.

Use for scaling binary data with the following formula: voltage = binary data × gain factor + offset.
datatype_icon

reserved1

A reserved value. Do not use.

datatype_icon

reserved2

A reserved value. Do not use.
