IviScope Configure Acquisition Record
IviScope Base Capability Group
This VI configures the most commonly configured properties of the oscilloscope acquisition subsystem. These properties are the time per record, minimum record length, and the acquisition start time.
 |
instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviScope Initialize or the IviScope Initialize With Options VI. |
 |
time per record (seconds) Pass the time per record. The driver uses this value to set the IviScope Horizontal Time Per Record property.
Units: seconds |
 |
minimum record length Pass the minimum number of points you allow for in the waveform recorded. The driver uses this value to set the IviScope Horizontal Minimum Number of Points property. Call the IviScope Actual Record Length VI to obtain the actual record length. |
 |
Note The oscilloscope may use records of different size depending on the acquisition type. You specify the acquisition type with the IviScope Configure Acquisition Type VI. |
|
start time (seconds) Pass the position of the first point in the waveform record relative to the trigger event. The driver uses this value to set the IviScope Acquisition Start Time property.
Specify the length of time from the trigger event to the first point in the waveform record. If this value is positive, the first point in the waveform record occurs after the trigger event. If this value is negative, the first point in the waveform record occurs before the trigger event. Units: seconds Default: 0.0 |
 |
error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.
The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
 |
instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviScope Initialize or the IviScope Initialize With Options VI. |
 |
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.
The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
