IviFgen_ConfigureArbFrequency

CVI/LabWindows IVI Class Driver

IviFgen_ConfigureArbFrequency

IviFgenArbFrequency Capability Group

C Function Prototype

IviFgen_ConfigureArbFrequency (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViReal64 frequency);

Purpose

Configures the rate at which the function generator produces an entire cycle of an arbitrary waveform on a channel.

Parameters

Name Type Description
vi ViSession The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviFgen_init or IviFgen_InitWithOptions functions. The handle identifies a particular IVI session.
channelName ViConstString 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.

Note  You can specify the channel name as a string variable or as a literal enclosed in double quotes.
frequency ViReal64 Specify the rate at which you want the function generator to produce an entire arbitrary waveform. The driver uses this value to set the IVIFGEN_ATTR_ARB_FREQUENCY attribute.
