Indicate whether the device object is running
Description
Along with the Logging or Sending property, Running reflects the state of an analog input or analog output object. Running can be On or Off.
Running is automatically set to On once the start function is issued. When Running is On, you can acquire data from an analog input device or send data to an analog output device after the trigger occurs. For digital I/O objects, Running is typically used to indicate if time-based events are being generated.
Running is automatically set to Off once the stop function is issued, the specified data is acquired or sent, or a run-time error occurs. When Running is Off, you cannot acquire or send data. However, you can acquire one sample with the getsample function, or send one sample with the putsample function.
