Owning Palette: NI-Sync VIs
Requires: NI-Sync
Use the VIs in the Utility palette to perform miscellaneous functions, such as converting 1588 time to a timestamp and resetting a module to a known state.
Palette Object | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
niSync Convert 1588 Time To Time Stamp | Converts a cluster with the same structure as the IEEE 1588-2008 time specification to a LabVIEW timestamp type. | ||
niSync Convert Time Stamp To 1588 Time | Converts a timestamp in LabVIEW format to a cluster with the same structure as the IEEE 1588-2008 time specification. | ||
niSync Error Message | Converts an error or warning code returned by an NI-Sync VI into a user-readable string. You can then display the string in a dialog box or use it as an indicator on the front panel. | ||
niSync Persist Configuration | Retains modified settings even after the controller is rebooted.
| ||
niSync Reset | Resets the module to the last known good state. You can also reset a module before the program starts by using the reset device parameter of niSync Initialize. | ||
niSync Revision Query | Returns the revision numbers of the NI-Sync driver and module firmware. You can use this VI to confirm that your hardware and software is up to date or compatible with a specific feature. | ||
niSync Self-Test | Runs the module's self test routine and return the test result(s). This operation verifies that the NI-Sync I/O session can communicate with the module's driver. | ||
niSync Wait Until Time | Waits until the board time reaches a specified time before continuing your program. You can use this VI to ensure that your future time events have completed before you close your session or stop your application. |
