how to define the data output frequency or to select the time channel in diadem when doing data output?

[jingli]

Dear all:
I'm trying to output data from a DAQCard 6062E within DIAdem DAC. The problem is there is no place to define the output rate or to define the time channel. So the frequency of the data being output is not what I wanted. Will someone please help me?

thank you very much

Hi, Jingli
Use a clock block from the system block tray and wire its yellow output to the data output block. In the clock block, you can set an output rate.
I am not sure whether the DAQCard driver supports this behaviour, but it should...

Hi, nimic:
your solution really works. there are two ways to solve the problem. first one, don't change anything in the diagram, just set the appropriate from settings/single point processing/default clock...; another one is to add a system clock in the diagram as you have mentioned.

thank you very much

Hi Jingli
(Just a minor addendum)
Yes, You are right, both methods work. In case you need a high data throughput, the default clock method is limited to the operating systems capabilities (so called software timing, appr 2 - 4 kS/s), whereas some DAQ-Hardware also supports hardware timing, which can get You a lot farther (10, 20 100 kS/s), albeit with drawbacks on data visualization.
