niScope Configure Clock

NI-SCOPE LabVIEW

niScope Configure Clock

Configures the properties for synchronizing the digitizer to an external clock or sending the digitizer's clock output to be used as a synchronizing clock for other devices.

Note  Some features are not supported by all digitizers. Refer to Features Supported by Device for more information.

input clock source specifies the input source for the PLL reference clock (the 1–20 MHz clock on SMC-based devices, the 10 MHz clock for the NI 5112/5620/5621/5911) to which the digitizer is phase-locked for all digitizers except the NI 5102; for the NI 5102, this is the source of the board clock.

Refer to the Input Clock Source property for defined values.

Default Value: None

instrument handle identifies a particular instrument session.
clock sync pulse source specifies the line on which the sample clock is sent or received for the NI 5102; for the NI 5112/5620/5621/5911, specifies the line on which the one-time sync pulse is sent or received. This line should be the same for all devices to be synchronized.

Refer to Clock Sync Pulse Source for defined values.

Default Value:RTSI 0

master enabled specifies whether the device is a master or a slave; the master device is typically the originator of the trigger signal and clock sync pulse; for a stand-alone device, set this parameter to FALSE.

Refer to the Master Enable property for more information.

Default Value: FALSE

error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI runs. The default input of this cluster is no error. If an error already occurred, this VI returns the value of error in in error out. The VI runs normally only if no incoming error exists. Otherwise, the VI passes the error in value to error out. The error in cluster contains the following parameters:
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function 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 identifies where an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
output clock source specifies the output source for the PLL reference clock (20 MHz in the NI 5102) to which another digitizer's sample clock can be phased-locked.

For the NI 5102, set this parameter to RTSI Clock to specify the NI 5102 as a master; refer to Output Clock Source for more information.

Default Value: None

instrument handle out has the same value as the instrument handle.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source identifies where and why an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
