NIDAQCNS.INC (Visual Basic for Windows programmers should
refer to the Programming Language Considerations section in Chapter 1, Using the
NI-DAQ Functions, for more information.)
• Pascal programmers—
NIDAQCNS.PAS
lineNum indicates which line you want to change the attributes of. Legal values for this
parameter are
ND_PFI_0 through ND_PFI_39, ND_RTSI_0 through ND_RTSI_6, and
ND_RTSI_CLOCK.
