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.
Responses to special conditions
The following table summarizes how the Data Acquisition module behaves under different conditions.
| Condition | Response of output register |
|---|---|
| When the device is started or powered-up (either the first time, or after a shutdown) | All output registers are not available. |
