How to get Time-stamp for Analog Input read of Data?

[broopashree]

Hi,

I am a newbie to NIDAQ. I want to read Analog data for the channels added to the task and also the time when the data is sampled. 

The API used to read data:

DAQmxReadAnalogF64(m_An_In_TaskHandle, samplesPerChan, timeout, DAQmx_Val_GroupByChannel, data, 1000, &read, NULL)

I am getting the samples but I need to get the timestamp of when the data is sampled. Is there any API/method to get the time-stamp information for the samples obtained?

Thanks,

Roopa

Hello Roopa,

I think that this Knowledge Base article will provide you with the information you need.  Its written in reference to LabWindows/CVI, but the answer applies to other programming environments as well.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
