Outputs values synchronously to analog output channels and digital output ports. This function only works with boards that support synchronous output.
daq_set_setpoints(board_num, limit_a_list, limit_b_list, setpoint_flags_list, setpoint_output_list, output_1_list, output_2_list, output_mask_1_list, output_mask_2_list, setpoint_count)
board_num (int)
The number associated with the board when it was installed with InstaCal or created with create_daq_device().
limit_a_list (list of int)
List containing the limit A values for the input channels used for the setpoint. Limit A specifies a value used to determine if the setpoint criteria are met.
limit_b_list (list of int)
List containing the limit B values for the input channels used for the setpoint. Limit B specifies a value used to determine if the setpoint criteria are met.
setpoint_flags_list (list of SetpointFlag)
List containing the setpoint flags. Set to one of the constants in the setpoint_flags_list parameter values section below.
setpoint_output_list (list of SetpointOutput)
List containing output sources. Set to one of the constants in the setpoint_output_list parameter values section below.
output_1_list (list of int)
List containing the values for the output channels used for the setpoint.
output_2_list (list of int)
List containing the values for the output channels used for the setpoint.
output_mask_1_list (list of int)
List containing the output masks for output value 1 (for FIRSTPORTC only).
output_mask_2_list (list of int)
List containing the output masks for output value 2 (for FIRSTPORTC only).
setpoint_count (int)
Number of setpoints to configure (0 to 16). Set to 0 to disable the setpoints.
| Flag | Description |
| EQUAL_LIMITA | Setpoint criteria: The input channel = limit A. |
| LESSTHAN_LIMITA | Setpoint criteria: The input channel < limit A. |
| GREATERTHAN_LIMITB | Setpoint criteria: The input channel >limit B. |
| INSIDE_LIMITS | Setpoint criteria: The input channel > limit A and < limit B. |
| OUTSIDE_LIMITS | Setpoint criteria: The input channel < limit A and > limit B. |
| HYSTERESIS | Setpoint criteria: If the input channel > limit A then output value 1. If the input channel < limit B then output value 2. |
| UPDATEON_TRUEONLY | If the criteria is met then output value 1. |
| UPDATEON_TRUEANDFALSE | If the criteria is met then output value 1, else output value 2. |
| Output source | Description |
| NONE | Perform no outputs. |
| FIRSTPORTC | Output to FIRSTPORTC when the criteria is met. |
| DIGITALPORT | Output to digital port when the criteria is met. |
| DAC0 | Output to DAC0 when the criteria is met. You must have a device with DAC0. |
| DAC1 | Output to DAC1 when the criteria is met. You must have a device with DAC1. |
| DAC2 | Output to DAC2 when the criteria is met. You must have a device with DAC2. |
| DAC3 | Output to DAC3 when the criteria is met. You must have a device with DAC3. |
| TMR0 | Output to timer 0 when the criteria is met. |
| TMR1 | Output to timer 1 when the criteria is met. |
