IviFgen Configure Operation Mode
IviFgen Base Capability Group
This VI configures the operation mode of the function generator. The operation mode determines how the function generator produces output on a channel. For example, you can select to generate output continuously or to generate a discrete number of waveform cycles based on a trigger event.
 |
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. |
 |
operation mode (Continuous) Pass the operation mode you want the function generator to use. The driver sets the IviFgen Operation Mode property to this value.
Defined Values: IVIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_CONTINUOUS—continuous generation IVIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_BURST—burst generation Default Value: IVIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_CONTINUOUS—continuous generation |
 |
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. |
