DAPL Output Configuration Commands
Output configuration commands define signal generation with clocked output updates: the number and sequence of channels, timing, output periods, and hardware triggering.
Output configuration commands are bracketed by special group delimiter command lines.
ODEFINE- Begin a group of commands that define an output updating configuration.
END- End an output updating configuration definition.
Configuration commands appear between the ODEFINE and END lines.
SET- Establish the destination port for an output signal, associating it with a logical data channel.
TIME- Set the time interval between consecutive updating operations.
COUNT- Set the number of updates to send before automatically terminating output updating.
CYCLE- Specify the number of terms for a repeating output waveform.
HTRIGGER- Select a hardware trigger control mode.
CLOCK- Select a hardware sample clocking mode.
UPDATE- Select continuous or burst updating mode.
MASTER or SLAVE- Selecta synchronization option for a multi-board system.
Subject to irregular time delays from task scheduling, some special processing commands can bypass the output clocking and send updates directly to output ports.
DACOUT- Bypass output clocking and send data directly to a digital-to-analog converter port.
DIGITALOUT- Bypass output clocking and send data directly to a digital port.
