ViInt32	R/W	N/A	None	None

Description

Controls which clock mode is used for the signal generator.

For signal generators that support it, this attribute allows switching the sample clock to High-Resolution mode. When in Divide-Down mode, the sample rate can only be set to certain frequencies, based on dividing down the update clock. However, in High-Resolution mode, the sample rate may be set to any value.

Defined Values

NIFGEN_VAL_DIVIDE_DOWN	Divide down sampling—Sample rates are generated by dividing the source frequency.
NIFGEN_VAL_HIGH_RESOLUTION	High resolution sampling—Sample rate is generated by a high–resolution clock source.
NIFGEN_VAL_AUTOMATIC	Automatic Selection—NI-FGEN selects between the divide–down and high–resolution clocking modes.

Default Value: Depends on the device
