Create Software-Triggered Timing Source

Creates a 1 kHz, 1MHz, or software-triggered timing source you can use to control the execution of a timed structure. Each timing source has its own unit of timing and/or start time and does not start until the first timed structure that uses the timing source starts. You must manually select the polymorphic instance you want to use.

Inputs/Outputs

  • cu8.png trigger ID —

    trigger ID is the numeric identifier of the software-triggered timing source. The valid range of trigger ID values is 0-127. Because this parameter is implemented as an integer rather than a string, it is safe to use the Fire Software-Triggered Timing Source VI in time-critical code.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • istr.png timing source name —

    timing source name is the name of the timing source created by the VI. Wire this output to the Source Name input of a timed structure.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
