Last Modified: July 24, 2019

Selects the clock mode for the waveform generator.

The waveform generator must not be in the Generating state when you call this node.

Programming Patterns

You must set the output mode input of Configure Output Mode to arbitrary waveform or arbitrary sequence before calling this node.

connector_pane_image
datatype_icon

session in

Handle that identifies your instrument session previously allocated by Initialize With Channels.

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

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

datatype_icon

clock mode

The clock mode of the waveform generator.

Name Value Description
Hi Resolution Sampling 0 Sample rate is generated by a high-resolution clock source and can be set to any value.
Divide Down Sampling 1 Sample rate is rounded to a frequency that can be achieved by dividing down the onboard Sample Clock Timebase.
Automatic 2 The node selects either Hi Resolution Sampling or Divide Down Sampling based on the sample rate, using divide down sampling when possible.

Default: Divide-Down Sampling

datatype_icon

session out

Reference to your instrument session to wire to the next node.

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Where This Node Can Run:

Desktop OS: Windows

FPGA: Not supported

Web Server: Not supported in VIs that run in a web application
