WFM_ClockRate
Format
status = WFM_ClockRate (deviceNumber, group, whichclock, timebase, interval, mode)
Purpose
Sets an update rate and a delay rate for a group of analog output channels.
Parameters
Input
Parameter Discussion
group is the group of analog output channels (see WFM_Group_Setup).
Range: 1 for most devices.
1 or 2 for the AT-AO-6/10.
whichclock indicates the type of clock:
0: The update clock (default).
1: The delay clock.
2: The delay clock prescalar 1 (E Series devices only).
3: The delay clock prescalar 2 (E Series devices only).
Notice that you can program the delay clock only on the AT-MIO-16X, AT-MIO-64F-5,
and E Series devices.
timebase is the timebase, or resolution, NI-DAQ uses in determining interval. timebase has
the following possible values:
–4: 40 MHz clock used as a timebase (25ns) (DAQArb 5411 only).
–3: 20 MHz clock used as a timebase (50 ns) (E Series only).
–1: 5 MHz clock used as timebase (200 ns resolution) (AT-MIO-16F-5,
AT-MIO-64F-5, and AT-MIO-16X only)
