IviPwrMeter Configure Internal Trigger [IT]

IviPwrMeterInternalTrigger Capability Group

This VI configures the internal trigger event source and the internal trigger slope of the power meter.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviPwrMeter Initialize or IviPwrMeter Initialize With Options VIs.
event source The name of the channel to use as the internal trigger event source. The driver sets the IviPwrMeter>>Trigger>>Internal Trigger>>Internal Trigger Event Source [IT] property to this value.

Pass the virtual channel name that you assign to the instrument in the Configuration Utility.

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 the Configuration Utility. 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: ""
slope The internal trigger slope. The driver sets the IviPwrMeter>>Trigger>>Internal Trigger>>Internal Trigger Slope [IT] property to this value.

Valid Values:

IVIPWRMETER_VAL_POSITIVE - Sets the trigger event
to occur on the rising edge of the trigger pulse.

IVIPWRMETER_VAL_NEGATIVE (Difference) - Sets the
trigger event to occur on the falling edge of
the trigger pulse.

Default Value:

IVIPWRMETER_VAL_POSITIVE
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 IviPwrMeter Initialize or IviPwrMeter Initialize With Options VIs.
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.
