NIDAQ Device¶
Description¶
Interface to a National Instruments data acquisition (DAQ) device
Signature¶
iodevice/nidaq
Required Parameters¶
name¶
| Example: | Dev1 |
|---|
Device name.
Run /Applications/National Instruments/NI-DAQmx Base/lsdaq.app to
detect available devices and determine their assigned names.
update_interval¶
| Example: | 3ms |
|---|
MWorks will poll the device for new input data every update_interval microseconds
analog_input_data_interval¶
| Example: | 1ms |
|---|
Interval between acquired samples on analog input channels (microseconds)
analog_output_data_interval¶
| Example: | 1ms |
|---|
Interval between generated samples on analog output channels (microseconds)
Optional Parameters¶
assume_multiplexed_adc¶
| Default: | YES |
|---|
If YES, MWorks assumes that all analog input channels share a single analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and adjusts sample timestamps accordingly. If NO, MWorks assumes that each analog input channel has its own ADC and that samples for all channels are acquired simultaneously.
alt¶
Alternative device to use if this one fails to initialize (e.g. because the required hardware is not available). If #allowAltFailover is set to 0 or false, this parameter is ignored.
