Getting Started
The following section shows the NuDAQ Topic Definition dialog box and
gives the detailed description of each field:
Topic Name: This field is used to enter a Topic Name. (The same DDE
Topic Name is entered in the InTouch "DDE Access Name
definition" dialog box described in the section 3.1). The topic
must be a unique name that is matched by the DDE clients
(for example InTouch). Topic Name can be up to 32
characters long.
Card Type#BoardNumber: Associate the topic with a NuDAQ board
(additional topics may be associated with this same board at
a later time).
AI Range: The data range setting of analog input for the NuDAQ board
configured. The field is only available for the boards support AI
(PCI-9111 DG/HR, PCI-9112, PCI-9113, PCI9114 DG/HG and
PCI-9118DG/HG/HR).
AI Mode: The analog input mode (Single Ended or Differential mode) for
the NuDAQ board configured. The field is only available for the
boards that support both the two modes (PCI-9112,
PCI9114DG/HG and PCI-9118DG/HG/HR). The default AI
mode is Single Ended mode.
Update Interval: This field tells the server how often it will try to poll the
data from the board associated to the topic defined. The
valid range of Update Interval is from 1 to 65535 and
the default value is 1000(msec).
