Configure AM Source

IVI Compliance Package

IviFgen Configure AM Source

IviFgenModulateAM Capability Group[xxx]

This VI configures the source of the amplitude modulating signal the function generator uses for the channel.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviFgen Initialize or IviFgen Initialize With Options VI.
channel name ("CHANNEL1") Pass the virtual channel name that you assign to the instrument in MAX.

Virtual channel names are aliases for instrument specific channel strings. The instrument specific channel strings can differ from one instrument to another. Virtual channel names allow you to use and swap instruments without having to change the channel names in your source code. You assign a virtual channel name to an instrument specific channel through MAX. This control accepts virtual channel names you have assigned to the specific instrument you are using. It also accepts the instrument specific channel names.

Default Value: "CHANNEL1"

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.

source (Internal) Pass the source of the modulating signal you want to use. The driver sets the IviFgen AM Source [AM] property to this value.

Valid Values:

IVIFGEN_VAL_AM_INTERNAL—internal modulation source

IVIFGEN_VAL_AM_EXTERNAL—external modulation source

Default Value:

IVIFGEN_VAL_AM_INTERNAL—internal modulation source

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.
