IviFgen Extension Capability Groups
The IviFgen class driver identifies VIs and properties that belong to an extension group with the following group names. Instrument specific drivers are not required to implement any of the extension capability groups. If you use VIs and properties that belong to extension capability groups, every instrument specific driver that you use must implement those extensions.
| Group Name | Abbreviation | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IviFgenStdFunc | [STD] | For instruments capable of generating standard periodic waveforms. |
| IviFgenArbWfm | [ARB] | For instruments capable of generating user-defined arbitrary waveforms. |
| IviFgenArbFrequency | [AF] | For instruments capable of specifying the rate at which the function generator produces an entire cycle of an arbitrary waveform. |
| IviFgenArbSeq | [SEQ] | For instruments capable of generating a user-defined sequence of arbitrary waveforms. |
| IviFgenTrigger | [TRG] | For instruments capable of producing a signal upon receipt of a trigger. This extension group has been deprecated. Use the IviFgenStartTrigger extension group instead. |
