IdleState

Default state of counter output channel

Description

When working with the session-based interface, the IdleState property indicates the default state of the counter output channel with a 'PulseGeneration' measurement type when the counter is not running.

Values

IdleState is either 'High' or 'Low'.

Examples

Create a session object and add a 'PulseGeneration' counter output channel:

s = daq.createSession('ni');
s.addCounterOutputChannel('cDAQ1Mod5', 'ctr0', 'PulseGeneration');

Change the IdleState property to 'High' and display the channel:

s.Channels.IdleState = 'High';

s.Channels
