Parameter Discussion for the 6602 Devices
Legal ranges for the signal, source, and sourceSpec parameters are given in terms of
constants that are defined in a header file.
• BASIC programmers—
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
Note
Use the signal parameter to specify the signal whose source you want to select. The
following table shows the possible values for signal.
Legal values for source and sourceSpec depend on the signal and are shown in the following
tables:
signal =
ND_RTSI_0 through ND_RTSI_6 and ND_RTSI_CLOCK
signal = ND_START_TRIGGER
Table 2-36.
