Parameter Discussion
Legal ranges for the lineNum, attribID and attribValue parameters are in terms of constants
defined in a header file. The header file you should use depends on the language you are
using:
• C programmers—
NIDAQCNS.H (DATAACQ.H for LabWindows/CVI)
• BASIC programmers—
NIDAQCNS.INC (Visual Basic for Windows programmers should
refer to the Programming Language Considerations section in Chapter 1, Using the
NI-DAQ Functions, for more information.)
• Pascal programmers—
NIDAQCNS.PAS
lineNum indicates which line you want to change the attributes of. Legal values for this
parameter are
ND_PFI_0 through ND_PFI_39, ND_RTSI_0 through ND_RTSI_6, and
ND_RTSI_CLOCK.
attribID indicates which feature you are interested in changing. Legal values are listed in the
following paragraphs, along with the corresponding values you can expect for attribValue.
