IviFgen Initiate Generation
IviFgen Base Capability Group
This VI initiates signal generation. If the function generator is in the Configuration state, this VI moves the function generator to the Output Generation state. If the function generator is already in the Output Generation state, this VI does nothing. Details.
 |
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. |
IviFgen Initiate Generation Details
The instrument is in the Generation state after you call the IviFgen Initialize, IviFgen Initialize With Options, or IviFgen Reset VIs. You can configure the output of the function generator regardless of whether function generator is in the Configuration State or the Generation State. This means that you are required to call the IviFgen Initiate Generation VI only if you abort signal generation by calling the IviFgen Abort Generation VI.
Many function generators constantly generate an output signal, and do not require you to initiate signal generation. If a function generator is always outputting the currently configured 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.
This VI disables extensions that you have not set under the following conditions:
- If you have not set the value of any property in the IviFgenModulateAM extension on a channel, this VI sets the IviFgen»Amplitude Modulation»AM Enabled [AM] property to FALSE for that channel.
- If you have not set the value of any property in the IviFgenModulateFM extension on a channel, this VI sets the IviFgen»Frequency Modulation»FM Enabled [FM] property to FALSE for that channel.
