Is there a 64-bit DAQmxSetReadOffset()?

[Bill_Anderson]

Seven years ago I suggested that the DAQmxSetReadOffset() function be upgraded from a 32-bit to a 64-bit integer.

While some functions are 64-bit, ie DAQmxGetReadTotalSampPerChanAcquired(), as far as I can tell, the DAQmxSetReadOffset() is STILL 32-bit.

I am checking to see if National Instruments is changing this function to 64-bit, ie creating a DAQmxSetReadOffset64()?
Or is there some 64-bit replacement for DAQmxSetReadOffset()?
Or will National Instruments produce great hardware with 32-bit limited DAQmx driver software?

I have noticed that DAQmxSetReadOffset() and DAQmxGetReadTotalSampPerChanAcquired() are no longer in the 'NI DAQ C Reference Help',
so have DAQmxSetReadOffset() and DAQmxGetReadTotalSampPerChanAcquired() have been replaced by other (64-bit) functions?

Sincerely,

Hello Bill,

There was indeed some progress!

 I have noticed that DAQmxSetReadOffset() and DAQmxGetReadTotalSampPerChanAcquired() are no longer in the 'NI DAQ C Reference Help',

Not sure if you accidentally looked at the wrong help (or if "DAQ C" instead of "DAQmx C" was a typo), however you can find Get/Set/Reset Read_TotalSampPerChanAcquired here. As you wrote, it is using a uInt64 type.

The DAQmxSetReadOffset function indeed still returns a 32-bit value. This seems unintended to me, as most other functions were changed to 64 bit. I made the R&D department aware of this. However I cannot promise anything here, there might be a 64-bit version coming or not, depending on the distribution of resources the developers have.

Hello ikaiser,

Thank you for passing on to the R&D department that they should upgrade DAQmxSetReadOffset() to 64-bit. I appreciate that.  I hope they are listening!

Sincerely,

Bill
