Configure Channel Characteristics

IVI Compliance Package

IviScope Configure Channel Characteristics

IviScope Base Capability Group

This VI configures the properties that control the electrical characteristics of the channel. These properties are the input impedance and the maximum frequency of the input signal.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviScope Initialize or the IviScope Initialize With Options VI.
channel name 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"

input impedance (ohms) Pass the input impedance you want to use for the channel. The driver sets the IviScope Input Impedance to this value.

Units: ohms

Default Value: 1000000.0

max input frequency (hertz) Pass the maximum frequency for the input signal you want the instrument to accommodate without attenuating it by more than 3dB. The driver sets the IviScope Maximum Input Frequency to this value.

Units: hertz (Hz)

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 IviScope Initialize or the IviScope 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.
