DAQ_Config
Format
status = DAQ_Config (deviceNumber, startTrig, extConv)
Purpose
Stores configuration information for subsequent DAQ operations.
Parameters
Input
Parameter Discussion
startTrig indicates whether the trigger to initiate DAQ sequences is generated externally.
0: Generate software trigger to start DAQ sequence (the default).
1: Wait for external trigger pulse at STARTTRIG of the MIO16/16D, or at
EXTTRIG* of the AT-MIO-16F-5, AT-MIO-64F-5, and AT-MIO-16X, or at
EXTTRIG of the Lab and 1200 Series devices to initiate DAQ sequence (not
valid for 516 and LPM devices and the DAQCard-500/700).
extConv indicates whether the timing of A/D conversions during the DAQ sequence is
controlled externally or internally with the sample-interval and/or scan-interval clocks.
0: Use onboard clock to control data acquisition sample-interval and scan-interval
timing (the default).
1: Allow external clock to control sample-interval timing.
2: Allow external clock to control scan-interval timing (MIO, AI, and Lab and 1200
Series devices only).
3: Allow external control of sam ple-interval timing and scan-interval timing
(AT-MIO-16F-5, AT-MIO-64F-5, AT-MIO-16X, and Lab and 1200 Series
devices only).
If you are using an ESeries or DSA device, see the Select_Signal function for information
about the external timing signals.
