Configure Arb Frequency

IVI Compliance Package

IviFgen Configure Arb Frequency

IviFgenArbFrequency Capability Group

This VI configures the rate at which the function generator produces an entire cycle of an arbitrary waveform on a 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.

frequency (0.0 Hz) Pass the frequency at which you want the function generator to produce one cycle of an arbitrary waveform. The driver sets the IviFgen Arb Frequency [AF] property to this value.

Units: hertz (Hz)

Default Value: 0.00

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.
