Initial Value

USB device : 20us

Remarks

In order to make the application operation regular, must set the internal clock value when the internal clock is used. This function should be executed in the setting stage before sampling starts.

Example

C

Ret = CntSetSamplingInternalClock (Id, 500, 2);
 

Python

Ret = ccnt.CntSetSamplingInternalClock (Id, 500, 2)
