You can get/set/reset this attribute using:   DAQmxGetChanAttribute   DAQmxSetChanAttribute   DAQmxResetChanAttribute

Data Type:	int32
Description:	Specifies the logic family to use for generation. A logic family corresponds to voltage thresholds that are compatible with a group of voltage standards. Refer to the device documentation for information on the logic high and logic low voltages for these logic families.

Valid values

DAQmx_Val_2point5V	14620	Compatible with 2.5 V CMOS signals.
DAQmx_Val_3point3V	14621	Compatible with LVTTL signals.
DAQmx_Val_5V	14619	Compatible with TTL and 5 V CMOS signals.

You can get/set/reset this attribute using:   DAQmxGetChanAttribute   DAQmxSetChanAttribute   DAQmxResetChanAttribute

Data Type:	float64
Description:	Specifies the current threshold in Amperes for the channel. A value of 0 means the channel observes no limit. Devices can monitor only a finite number of current thresholds simultaneously. If you attempt to monitor additional thresholds, NI-DAQmx returns an error.

You can get/set/reset this attribute using:   DAQmxGetChanAttribute   DAQmxSetChanAttribute   DAQmxResetChanAttribute

Data Type:	bool32
Description:	Specifies whether to automatically reenable channels after they no longer exceed the current limit specified by DAQmx_DO_Overcurrent_Limit.

You can get/set/reset this attribute using:   DAQmxGetChanAttribute   DAQmxSetChanAttribute   DAQmxResetChanAttribute

Data Type:	int32

Valid values

DAQmx_Val_DMA	10054	Direct Memory Access. Data transfers take place independently from the application.
DAQmx_Val_Interrupts	10204	Data transfers take place independently from the application. Using interrupts increases CPU usage because the CPU must service interrupt requests. Typically, you should use interrupts if the device is out of DMA channels.
DAQmx_Val_ProgrammedIO	10264	Data transfers take place when you call an NI-DAQmx Read function or an NI-DAQmx Write function.
DAQmx_Val_USBbulk	12590	Data transfers take place independently from the application using a USB bulk pipe.

Description:	Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous USB transfers used to stream data. Modify this value to affect performance under different combinations of operating system and device.

You can get/set/reset this attribute using:   DAQmxGetChanAttribute   DAQmxSetChanAttribute   DAQmxResetChanAttribute

Data Type:

bool32

Description:

Specifies for NI-DAQmx to map hardware registers to the memory space of the application, if possible. Normally, NI-DAQmx maps hardware registers to memory accessible only to the kernel. Mapping the registers to the memory space of the application increases performance. However, if the application accesses the memory space mapped to the registers, it can adversely affect the operation of the device and possibly result in a system crash.

You can get/set/reset this attribute using:   DAQmxGetChanAttribute   DAQmxSetChanAttribute   DAQmxResetChanAttribute

Data Type:	int32
Description:	Specifies on which edge of the sample clock to generate samples.
