Configure Frequency Step Start Stop [FST]

IVI Compliance Package

IviUpconverter Configure Frequency Step Start Stop [FST]

IviUpconverterFrequencyStep Capability Group

This VI configures the frequency steps of the upconverter sweep.

IviUpconverter Configure Frequency Step Start Stop [FST].vi

ci32 frequency step scaling (Linear) Pass the spacing of the steps. The driver uses this value to set the IviUpconverter Frequency Step Scaling [FST] property.

Valid Values:

IVIUPCONVERTER_VAL_FREQUENCY_STEP_SCALING_LINEAR - Enables linear scaling.

IVIUPCONVERTER_VAL_FREQUENCY_STEP_SCALING_LOGARITHMIC - Enables logarithmic scaling.

Default value:

IVIUPCONVERTER_VAL_FREQUENCY_STEP_SCALING_LINEAR

civrn instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviUpconverter Initialize VI or IviUpconverter Initialize With Options VI. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.

Default Value: None

cdbl frequency step start (500.0e3 Hz) Pass the start frequency of the stepped sweep. The driver uses this value to set the IviUpconverter Frequency Step Start [FST] property.

Default Value: 500.0e3 Hz

Notes:

(1) If the stop frequency is less than the start frequency, the frequency decreases during the sweep.

cdbl frequency step stop (5.0e6 Hz) Pass the stop frequency of the stepped sweep. The driver uses this value to set the IviUpconverter Frequency Step Stop [FST] property.

Default Value: 5.0e6 Hz

Notes:

(1) If the stop frequency is less than the start frequency, the frequency decreases during the sweep.

cerrcodeclst 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.

cdbl frequency step size (100.0e3) Pass the step size. The driver uses this value to set the IviUpconverter Frequency Step Size [FST] property.

Default Value: 100.0e3

Notes:

(1) The units are Hertz if the IviUpconverter Frequency Step Scaling [FST] is Linear and unitless (factor) if the IviUpconverter Frequency Step Scaling [FST] is Logarithmic.

iivrn instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviUpconverter Initialize VI or IviUpconverter Initialize With Options VI. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.

Default Value: None

ierrcodeclst 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.
