Analog Input >> Measurement Type
| Data Type: | int32 |
| Description: | Indicates the measurement to take with the analog input channel and in some cases, such as for temperature measurements, the sensor to use. |
| Restrictions: | Not Settable |
Valid values
| DAQmx_Val_Voltage | 10322 | Voltage measurement. |
| DAQmx_Val_VoltageRMS | 10350 | Voltage RMS measurement. |
| DAQmx_Val_Current | 10134 | Current measurement. |
| DAQmx_Val_CurrentRMS | 10351 | Current RMS measurement. |
| DAQmx_Val_Voltage_CustomWithExcitation | 10323 | Voltage measurement with an excitation source. You can use this measurement type for custom sensors that require excitation, but you must use a custom scale to scale the measured voltage. |
