Data Acquisition Toolbox

Specifying Property Names

Device object property names are presented in this guide using mixed case. While this makes the names easier to read, you can use any case you want when specifying property names. Additionally, you need use only enough letters to identify the property name uniquely, so you can abbreviate most property names. For example, you can configure the SampleRate property any of these ways.

• set(ai,'SampleRate',44100);
  set(ai,'samplerate',44100);
  set(ai,'sampler',44100);
  

However, when you include property names in an M-file, you should use the full property name. This practice can prevent problems with future releases of the Data Acquisition Toolbox if a shortened name is no longer unique because of the addition of new properties.
