DAQmx Create Timing Source (G Dataflow)

Creates a timing source for a Timed Loop.

The timing source is based on signals a device generates. Timing sources send ticks to a timed loop. Those ticks determine when the Timed Loop executes. By default, the Timed Loop executes each time it receives a tick from a timing source, but other Timed Loop settings can affect when it executes. For example, if you set period in the Loop Configuration dialog to 2, the Timed Loop executes on every other tick the timing source sends.

The DAQmx Timing Source properties include additional timing source configuration options.

DAQmx Create Timing Source » Control Loop From Task

Creates a timing source that uses a combination of the sample clock and the specified sleep time to determine when to send ticks to a Timed Loop.

DAQmx Create Timing Source » Digital Change Detection

Creates a timing source that sends ticks to a Timed Loop on rising and/or falling edges of one or more digital lines.

DAQmx Create Timing Source » Digital Edge using Counter

Creates a timing source that sends ticks to a Timed Loop on rising or falling edges of a digital signal.

DAQmx Create Timing Source » Frequency

Creates a timing source that sends ticks to a Timed Loop at a constant frequency.

DAQmx Create Timing Source » Signal From Task

Creates a timing source that uses the signal you specify to determine when to send ticks to a Timed Loop.
