DAQ_Set_Clock
Format
DAQ_Set_Clock (deviceNumber, group, whichClock, desiredRate, units, actualRate)
Purpose
Sets the scan rate for a group of channels (DSA devices only).
Input

Parameter Discussion
whichClock indicates the type of clock.
0:
scan clock.
desiredRate is the rate at which you want data points to be sampled by the ADC(s).
units determines how desiredRate and actualRate are interpreted:
0:
points per second.
1:
seconds per point.
actualRate is the rate at which the ADCs produce samples. The capabilities of your device
will determine how closely actualRate matches desiredRate. The DSA devices use the same
base clock for both
will determine how closely actualRate matches desiredRate. The DSA devices use the same
base clock for both
DAQ/SCAN
and
WFM
operations so the rates available for a
DAQ/SCAN
will
be restricted if a
WFM
operation is already in progress.
Note
C programmers—actualRate is a pass-by-reference parameter.
