niUSRP Configure Time Start Trigger
Configures the Start Trigger generated by the onboard device timer and specifies the time to start the trigger.
The time Start Trigger specifies the time, according to the onboard device timer, to acquire (Rx) or generate (Tx) the first sample.


session handle
Instrument session.

error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
| error in does not contain an error | error in contains an error |
|---|---|
| If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.
If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out. | If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out. |
Default: No error

start trigger time
Time the trigger occurs in seconds, interpreted as whole seconds.fractional seconds.

whole seconds
Integer number of seconds for the time of the Start Trigger, according to the onboard device timer.

fractional seconds
Double-precision floating-point value representing the remaining fraction of a second for the time of the Start Trigger, according to the onboard device timer.

session handle out
Reference to your instrument session to be passed to the next node.

error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
