NIFGEN_ATTR_OUTPUT_MODE
IviFgenBase Attribute
| Data Type | Access | Applies to | Coercion | High-Level Functions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ViInt32 | R/W | N/A | None | niFgen_ConfigureOutputMode |
Description
Sets which output mode that the signal generator uses. The value that you specify determines which functions and attributes you can use to configure the waveform that the signal generator produces.
Defined Values
| NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_FUNC | Standard Function mode— Generates standard function waveforms such as sine, square, triangle, and so on. |
| NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_FREQ_LIST | Frequency List mode—Generates a standard function using a list of frequencies you define. |
| NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_ARB | Arbitrary Waveform mode—Generates waveforms from user-created/provided waveform arrays of numeric data. |
| NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_SEQ | Arbitrary Sequence mode —Generates downloaded waveforms in an order your specify. |
| NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_SCRIPT | Script mode—Allows you to use scripting to link and loop multiple waveforms in complex combinations. |
Default Value: NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_FUNC
