Static Generation

Static generation is a software timed (nonclocked) operation and can be applied to any number of the available DIO<0..19> channels. When performing a static generation operation, the NI 655x sets the current state of the configured data channels to the requested logic state—high level or low level. NI 655x devices support the open collector drive type, which means that they can set the configured data channels to a high-impedance (Z) state when the channels are configured to drive the Generation Voltage High Level.

Refer to Voltage Ranges and Settings for more information about voltage levels for each logic state.

Static generation can be done on any number of channels, provided that those channels are not configured for a dynamic operation. To statically set the state of dynamic generation channels, refer to Initial and Idle States.

For more information about performing static generation with NI-HSDIO, refer to Reading and Writing Static Data.
