DAQmxWriteCtrTicksScalar

int32 DAQmxWriteCtrTicksScalar (TaskHandle taskHandle, bool32 autoStart, float64 timeout, uInt32 highTicks, uInt32 lowTicks, bool32 *reserved);

Purpose

Writes a new pulse high tick count and low tick count to a continuous counter output task that contains a single channel.

Name	Type	Description
Input
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 all the samples. 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 submitted samples. If this function successfully writes all submitted samples, it does not return an error. Otherwise, the function returns a timeout error and returns the number of samples actually written.
highTicks	uInt32	The number of timebase ticks the pulse is high.
lowTicks	uInt32	The number of timebase ticks the pulse is low.
reserved	bool32 *	Reserved for future use. Pass NULL to this parameter.

Name	Type	Description
status	int32	The error code returned by the function in the event of an error or warning. A value of 0 indicates success. A positive value indicates a warning. A negative value indicates an error.
