TDMS_SetNextWritePosition
int TDMS_SetNextWritePosition (TDMSChannelHandle channel, __int64 offset, TDMSOffsetReferencePoint offsetReferencePoint);
Purpose
Configures the offset, relative to the specified channel, at which TDMS_AdvancedAsyncWrite or TDMS_AdvancedSyncWrite starts writing data to a .tdms file.
(Linux) This function is not supported.
Parameters
| Input | ||||||||
| Name | Type | Description | ||||||
| channel | TDMSChannelHandle | The channel relative to which the next write position will be set. | ||||||
| offset | __int64 | The offset of the next write position relative to the specified channel and specified offset reference point. If you set the offsetReferencePoint parameter to TDMS_OffsetRelativeToChannelStart, then the offset must be greater than or equal to zero. If you set the offsetReferencePoint parameter to TDMS_OffsetRelativeToChannelEnd, then the offset must be less than or equal to zero. Specify the offset in units of samples of the specified channel. If you use the disable buffering option of TDMS_AdvancedCreateFile or TDMS_AdvancedOpenFile, the write position you set must correspond to a file position that is on a hard disk sector boundary. You can obtain the sector size of the hard disk from the sectorSize output parameter of TDMS_AdvancedCreateFile or TDMS_AdvancedOpenFile. |
||||||
| offsetReferencePoint | TDMSOffsetReferencePoint | The reference point, relative to the specified channel, to which the specified offset is applied.
