How should I interpret the returned value for FDwfDigitalInAcquisitionModeInfo(hdwf)?

[Icarus]

In the example code DigitalDiscovery_RecordToFile16.py,  the acquisition mode is set to Record with dwf.FDwfDigitalInAcquisitionModeSet(hdwf, acqmodeRecord)   [ line 84 in my attached version]. 

However, function "dwf.FDwfDigitalInAcquisitionModeInfo(hdwf) ", returns c_int(3), which I thought from the SDK manual meant only acqmodeSingle and acqmodeScanShift were valid (see attached SDK exerpt)  

Am I miss understanding something in the Manual?

Hi @Icarus

The FDwfDigitalInAcquisitionModeInfo is not yet utilized, it only returns (1<<acqmodeSingle)|(1<<acqmodeScanShift)|(1<<acqmodeScanShift)
The next sw version will return valid info based on device capabilities, FDwfAnalogIn/DigitalInAcquisitionModeInfo

Got it. Thank you for the info. And thank you for responding so quickly!
