Ticks
Generates a clock synchronized to the board time associated with the specified instrument handle. This clock runs for a specified number of high and low ticks every cycle.
The terminal associated with this clock cannot be used for other operations until the clock is cleared with Clear Clock or the session is closed with Close. When this function is invoked, the digital signal on the specified terminal is driven low until the clock starts.
Inputs/Outputs
low ticks
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 property of niSync Properties.
Default value: 100
high ticks
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 property of niSync Properties.
Default value: 100
session in
The session that you obtain from Initialize.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error
terminal
The line you would like to generate the clock on.
You cannot use this line for other operations until you clear the generated clock using Clear Clock or close the session.
start time
The time to start the generated clock.
This time is synchronized with the board time of the module you use to create the clock.
Default value: immediate
stop time
The board time when to stop the generated clock.
This time is synchronized with the board time of the module you use to create the clock.
Default value: never
session out
The session handle that you obtain from Initialize.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
