instrument handle identifies a particular instrument session.

You obtain the instrument handle parameter from niDMM Initialize or niDMM Initialize With Options. The default is None.

Function specifies the measurement function used in a waveform acquisition.

NI-DMM sets the Function property to this value.

Rate specifies the rate of the acquisition in samples per second.

NI-DMM sets the Waveform Rate property to this value. The valid rate is 10.0 – 1,800,000 S/s. Values are coerced to the closest integer divisor of 1,800,000. The default value is 1,800,000.

Waveform Points specifies the number of points to acquire before the waveform acquisition completes.

NI-DMM sets the Waveform Points property to this value. To calculate the maximum and minimum number of Waveform Points that you can acquire in one acquisition, refer to Waveform Acquisition Measurement Cycle. The default value is 500.

Range specifies the expected maximum amplitude of the input signal and sets the range for the measurement function.

NI-DMM sets the Range property to this value. Range values are coerced up to the closest input range. The default value is 10.0.

Auto-ranging is not supported during waveform acquisitions.

For valid ranges, refer to the Devices section of the NI Digital Multimeters Help.

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this VI runs. If an error occurred before this VI runs, the VI passes the error in value to error out. This VI runs normally only if no error occurs before this VI runs. If an error occurs while this VI runs, it continues and sets its own error status in error out. Use niDMM Error Message to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

	status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI ran. The default is FALSE.
	code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a negative error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
	source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

instrument handle out returns a handle that you use to identify the instrument in all subsequent instrument driver VI calls.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
