Information regarding DAQ assitant

[aviralp]

Hi everyone 

I am new to labview. Currently I am working on accuring analog input and generating output using DAQ assistant by interfacing it with NI PXIe-1082.

I want to know that in DAQ assistant what does it mean by Acquisition mode. There are 4 of them

1) 1 Sample (on demand)

2) 1 sample (HW timed)

3)N samples

4) continuous samples

I also wanted to learn about NI 6363 card. Please mention any link of study material available regarding NI 6363 card.

Thank You

Hi aviralp,

10 DAQmx functions you need to know

NI6363: NI offers lots of documentation for all its hardware, so why don't you read it?

Hi,

Quick description of the behaviour of each of those:

1- A single sample is taken when the DAQ Assistant function is called in your code (if it's in a loop it will generate 1 sample each iteration)

2 - A single sample is taken, but this is controlled by the hardware clock. Some hardware require this to be the method instead of the On Demand method.

3 - This will generate the number of samples specified when the function is called. If this is in a loop it will generate the same number of samples each time.

4 - This is used to continuously run acquisition or generation. 

Hope this helps.
