niSync Create Clock (VI)

low time specifies, in seconds, how long you want the generated clock to run at the low logic state.

Note  Because you can only generate clocks on exact multiples of clock ticks, the requested low time and the actual clock low time may differ slightly. You can display the actual low time of the generated clock by wiring an indicator to the coerced low time terminal.

high time specifies, in seconds, how long you want the generated clock to run at the high logic state.

Note  Because you can only generate clocks on exact multiples of clock ticks, the high time you request and the actual high time may differ slightly. You can display the actual high time of the generated clock by wiring an indicator to the coerced high time terminal.

instrument handle specifies the instrument handle that you obtain from niSync Initialize.

terminal specifies the line you would like to generate the clock on. You cannot use this terminal for other operations until you clear the generated clock using niSync Clear Clock or you close the session with niSync Close.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

start time specifies when to start the generated clock. This time is synchronized with the board time of the module you use to create the clock. The default value is immediate, which generates the clock as soon as the VI is invoked.

stop time specifies when to stop the generated clock. This time is synchronized with the board time of the module you use to create the clock. The default value is never, in which case the clock will not stop until you invoke niSync Clear Clock or close the session.

instrument handle out returns the instrument handle that you obtain from niSync Initialize.

coerced low time returns the actual duration, in seconds, of the generated clock's logic low state.

coerced high time returns the actual duration, in seconds, of the generated clock's logic high state.

error out returns error conditions that occur after this node runs. This output provides standard error out functionality.

low ticks specifies the number of ticks the generated clock should spend in the low logic state. You can view the length of a tick using the Clock Resolution parameter of the niSync Property Node.

high ticks specifies the number of ticks the generated clock should spend in the high logic state. You can view the length of a tick using the Clock Resolution parameter in the niSync Property Node.

instrument handle specifies the instrument handle that you obtain from niSync Initialize.

terminal specifies the line you would like to generate the clock on. You cannot use this terminal for other operations until you clear the generated clock using niSync Clear Clock or you close the session with niSync Close.

stop time specifies when to stop the generated clock. This time is synchronized with the board time of the module you use to create the clock. The default value is never, in which case the clock will not stop until you invoke niSync Clear Clock or close the session.

instrument handle out returns the instrument handle that you obtain from niSync Initialize.

error out returns error conditions that occur after this node runs. This output provides standard error out functionality.

duty cycle specifies the desired duty cycle—the ratio of high ticks to low ticks—of the generated clock.

Note  Because you can only generate clocks on exact multiples of clock ticks, the duty cycle you request and the actual duty cycle may differ slightly. You can display the actual duty cycle of the generated clock by wiring an indicator to the coerced duty cycle terminal.

frequency specifies the desired frequency of the generated clock.

Note  Because you can only generate clocks on exact multiples of clock ticks, the frequency you request and the actual clock frequency may differ slightly. You can display the actual frequency of the generated clock by wiring an indicator to the coerced frequency terminal.
