What is an API?
An Application Programing Interface a standard
way of communication from one software
component to another
In the case of DAQmx, we communicate via a
standard API to DAQ hardware

DAQmx: Timing ( Muestreo)

What is the buffer?

A buffer is a temporary storage in computer memory for acquired or tobe-generated samples. Think of this as a portion of the computer
memory that is dedicated to storing data that is directly communicating
with the hardware. LabVIEW or your application development
environment has its own memory that will transfer or receive data from
the DAQmx buffer.
When Is a Buffer Created?
For finite or continuous acquisitions, NI-DAQmx creates a buffer. If you
set sample mode to Hardware Timed Single Point, NI-DAQmx does not
create a buffer. Hardware Timed Single Point is common in real-time
applications.
For fully synchronized data acquisition, the trigger and sample clock
should be the same for all devices.
