Network:BuffSize Property

Short Name: Network.BuffSize

Installed With: Base Package

Class: Variable Properties

Gets or sets the size of the network buffer.

LabVIEW returns the size of the buffer in bytes. However, if the buffer data type is an Integer, such as an 8-bit signed integer, an 8-bit unsigned integer, a 16-bit signed integer, a 16-bit unsigned integer, and so on; a Boolean; a single-precision floating-point or double-precision floating-point; a 16-bit integer of waveforms or double waveforms; a 1D array of all types; or strings, LabVIEW returns the buffer size in those data types. For example, for a 16-bit integer, LabVIEW returns the number of 16-bit integers. For a 1D array, LabVIEW returns the number of arrays.

Use the Network:ElemSize property to set the size of arrays or strings, and use the Network:PointsPerWaveform property to set the size of waveforms.

This property is similar to the Size option on the Network page of the Shared Variable Properties dialog box.

LabVIEW uses the Network:BuffSize, Network:ElemSize, and Network:PointsPerWaveform properties as appropriate to calculate the network buffer size for a network-published shared variable.
