WFM_Load
Format
status = WFM_Load (deviceNumber, numChans, chanVect, buffer, count, iterations, mode)
Purpose
Assigns a waveform buffer to one or more analog output channels and indicates the number
of waveform cycles to generate.
Parameters
Input
Parameter Discussion
numChans indicates the number of analog output channels specified in the array chanVect.
Range: 1 or 2 for most devices.
1 through 6 for AT-AO-6.
1 through 10 for AT-AO-10.
1 for DAQArb 5411 devices.
chanVect is the array of channel numbers indicating to which analog output channels the
buffer to be assigned.
Channel number range:
0 or 1 for most devices.
0 through 5 for AT-AO-6.
0 through 9 for AT-AO-10.
0 for DAQArb 5411 devices.
