AnalogUnscaledReaderBeginReadInt16 Method
Begins an asynchronous read of one or more unscaled 16-bit integer samples from one or more AIChannel objects in a task.
Namespace: NationalInstruments.DAQmx
Assembly: NationalInstruments.DAQmx (in NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll) Version: 20.7.40.49302
Syntax
public IAsyncResult BeginReadInt16( int samplesPerChannel, AsyncCallback callback, Object state )
Public Function BeginReadInt16 ( samplesPerChannel As Integer, callback As AsyncCallback, state As Object ) As IAsyncResult
Parameters
- samplesPerChannel
- Type: SystemInt32
The number of samples to read. If you set samplesPerChannel to -1 for a continuous acquisition, the read retrieves all samples available in the buffer at the time of the read. If you set samplesPerChannel to -1 for a finite acquisition, the read behavior is set by the ReadAllAvailableSamples property of the DaqStream you are reading from. - callback
- Type: SystemAsyncCallback
An optional asynchronous callback that is called when the read is complete. Specify if you do not want a callback when the read is complete. - state
- Type: SystemObject
A user-provided object that distinguishes this asynchronous read request from other requests. Use this parameter to provide information to the callback. Specify if you do not need to pass any additional information to the callback.
Return Value
Type: IAsyncResultAn IAsyncResult that represents the asynchronous call.
Remarks
To get the read data or any exceptions that occurred during an asynchronous read initiated with BeginReadInt16(Int32, AsyncCallback, Object), call EndReadInt16(IAsyncResult) with the returned IAsyncResult.
NI-DAQmx read and write methods time out after the amount of time specified by the Timeout property on the task you are reading from or writing to.
