Issue Details

I want to see how many samples are in my DAQ device's buffer at any given time.

Solution

To be able to view the number of samples in the buffer of a DAQ input task you will need to implement a DAQmx Read Property Node. The particular property that needs to be read is Available Samples Per Channel which is found listed under Status.
