Dynamic Generation:Drive Type

NI Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzer

Dynamic Generation:Drive Type

Short Name: DriveType

Specifies what the data channels generate when set to logic 1. Using the open collector setting to generate a Z is useful for wired logic buses, such as I2C or SMBus.

Notes  NI 656x devices only support the active drive setting. NI-HSDIO returns an error if you try to configure the channels on these devices for open collector generation.

NI 654x devices support open collector generation only for static generation. NI-HSDIO returns an error if you try to configure the channels on these devices for open collector dynamic generation.

This property is only valid for generation sessions.

Active drive (75) The Generation Voltage High Level for the device is produced at the channel electronics when the Pattern Generation Engine generates a binary 1.
Open collector (76) The channel electronics assume a high-impedance state when the Pattern Generation Engine generates a binary 1.
