Purpose

Writes a floating-point sample to a task that contains a single analog output channel.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
taskHandle TaskHandle The task to write the sample to.
autoStart bool32 Specifies whether or not this function automatically starts the task if you do not start it.
timeout float64 The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for this function to write the value. The default value is 10.0 seconds. To specify an infinite wait, pass -1 (DAQmx_Val_WaitInfinitely). This function returns an error if the timeout elapses.
A value of 0 indicates to try once to write the value. If this function successfully writes the value, it does not return an error. Otherwise, the function returns a timeout error.
