Overview

It converts the waveforms that are being sampled by the device into numeric array format.

NOTE: The registers and settings available in this module depend on the device or node you are configuring, as well as its firmware and template versions. Not all registers or settings are available on all devices or the Virtual Processor, and labels may vary.

Inputs

The Data Acquisition Module has no programmable inputs.

Setup registers

The Data Acquisition Module has no setup registers.

Output registers

Output

All Data Acquisition Modules have an output register for every input they are sampling. Each output register contains sampled points of a waveform in numeric array format.

NOTE: No event messages are created by the Data Acquisition Module.
