number of samples/ch specifies the number of samples per channel in the buffer. Use a large number of samples for continuous operations. Use a smaller number of samples if you want to use less memory. | |||||||||
sample mode specifies whether you intend to write just once (Finite Samples) or continuously (Continuous Samples). In Finite Samples mode, call Sound Output Write only until you have written the number of samples specified in number of samples/ch. In Continuous Samples mode, you can call Sound Output Write repeatedly as needed. | |||||||||
device ID is the input or output device you access for a sound operation. In general, most users should select the default value of 0. The value ranges from 0 to n–1, where n is the number of input or output devices on the computer. | |||||||||
sound format sets the playing rate, the number of channels, and the bits per sample of the sound operation. The values for each of these controls is dependent on your sound card.
| |||||||||
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. | |||||||||
task ID returns an identification number associated with the configuration on the specified device. You can pass task ID to other sound operation VIs. | |||||||||
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
