Running State

When the task begins to perform the specified operation, the task transitions from the Committed state to the Running state. You can explicitly perform this transition by invoking the Start Task function/VI. Notice that starting a task does not necessarily start acquiring samples or generating a waveform. You might have specified the timing and triggering attributes/properties such that a sample is not acquired until you call the Read function/VI or a waveform is not generated until a trigger is detected. In general, the start transition does not fail. If it does, it is an exceptional condition, and the task remains in the Committed state. If the task begins to perform the specified operation, the task is successfully started and transitions to the Running state.
