Parameter Discussion
chan is the number of the analog output channel performing the waveform generation
operation.
Range: 0 or 1 for most devices.
0 through 5 for AT-AO-6.
0 through 9 for AT-AO-10.
wfmStopped is a flag whose value indicates whether the waveform generation operation is
still in progress. If the number of iterations indicated in the last
WFM_Load call is 0, the status
is always 0.
0: Ongoing operation.
1: Complete operation.
itersDone returns the number of buffer iterations that have been completed.
