C Series modules.

NI 9201/9221

The vendor configuration extensions for the NI 9201/9221 are listed in Table 4.

NI 9201/9221 Scan List

The scan list channel codes consist of two bit fields in a 32-bit entry.

Bits <23..16> describe the data offset to store a conversion at time 

t

, and bits <7..0> describe the 

conversion control code that takes effect two conversions in the future, at time 

t+2

. On the 

NI 9201/9221, this conversion code is a bit flag where bit 0 represents a conversion 
on channel 0, through bit 7 for channel 7.
