Calculate Actual Clock Rate

[dsFlux]

Overview

This code calculates the actual clock rate when dividing down an 80 MHz clock.

Description

When you want the sample clock rate of a particular task to be different than the 80 MHz Timebase of a device, the device must divide down the 80 MHz Timebase. This is done with an integer divisor. Consequently, the actual sample clock rate will not be exactly what is desired. This VI allows you to see what the actual sample clock rate will be without using the DAQmx Timing property node with the SampClk.Rate property.

This example can be modified to calculate the actual sample clock rate for other Timebases, such as a 20 Mhz Timebase.

Requirements

Software

• LabVIEW 2012 or compatible

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

There are two portions of this VI. You may calculate the actual clock rate based off of a desired clock rate or based off of an integer divisor.
