USB-6210, nidaqmx and time stamps

Solved!
Go to solution

Hey,

 

I've implemented a data acquisition application in Python 3.5 with pydaqmx (wrapper around nidaqmx 16.0). Currently, I'm reading analog inputs with a callback task which automatically registers every N samples. However, the only way I found to calculate the sample time stamps was to record the system time at every callback. Is there a way to get the sample time stamp from the nidaqmx itself?

 

The DAQ I'm using is USB-6210.

 

Thanks,

smomni

Hey Smommi,

 

I am not very experienced with the pydaqmx API, but I assume that it works similar as the C wrapper for the DAQmx driver.

Have a look at this knowledgebase where the steps you need to take are described:

I hope I could help,
