IviFgen Abort Generation
IviFgen Base Capability Group
This VI aborts a previously initiated signal generation. If the function generator is in the Output Generation State, this VI moves the function generator to the Configuration State. If the function generator is already in the Configuration State, the VI does nothing.
You can configure the output of the function generator regardless of whether the function generator is in the Configuration State or the Generation State. This means that you are not required to call the IviFgen Abort Generation VI prior to configuring the output of the function generator.
Many function generators constantly generate an output signal, and do not require you to abort signal generation prior to configuring the instrument. If a function generator's output cannot be aborted (that is, the function generator cannot stop generating a signal) this VI does nothing.
You are not required to call the IviFgen Initiate Generation and IviFgen Abort Generation VIs. Whether you choose to call these VIs in an application program has no impact on interchangeability. You can choose to use these VIs if you want to optimize your application for instruments that exhibit increased performance when output configuration is performed while the instrument is not generating a signal.

Note This VI does not normally check the instrument status. Typically, you call this VI only in a sequence of calls to other low-level driver VIs. The sequence performs one operation. You use the low-level VIs to optimize one or more aspects of interaction with the instrument. If you want to check the instrument status, call the IviFgen Error-Query VI at the conclusion of the sequence. |
 |
instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviFgen Initialize or IviFgen Initialize With Options VI. |
 |
error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
 |
instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviFgen Initialize or IviFgen Initialize With Options VI. |
 |
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
