Configuring an Internal Sample Clock

You can use the internal (onboard) Sample clock to control the clocking rates of your signal generator. In Arbitrary Waveform or Arbitrary Sequence mode, you can choose a clocking mode that will allow you to configure the rate at which this Sample clock runs.

Note The onboard clock is the default Sample clock source. If you have not changed the settings for your Sample clock source, you do not need to perform this procedure.

LabVIEW Example

  1. Call the niFgen Configure Sample Clock Source VI with Source set to "Onboard Clock".

Perform the following step only if your application is configured for Arbitrary Waveform or Arbitrary Sequence output mode:

  1. Call the niFgen Configure Clock Mode VI with Clock Mode set to the clock mode required for your application.

C Example

  1. Call the niFgen_ConfigureSampleClockSource function with the sampleClockSource parameter set to "OnboardClock".

Perform the following step only if your application is configured for Arbitrary Waveform or Arbitrary Sequence output mode:

  1. Call the niFgen_ConfigureClockMode function with the clockMode parameter set to the clock mode required for your application.
