niFgen_CalAdjustFlatness

NI-FGEN C Function

niFgen_CalAdjustFlatness

ViStatus niFgen_CalAdjustFlatness (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViInt32 configuration, ViReal64 requestedAmplitude, ViReal64[] frequencies, ViReal64[] measuredAmplitudes, ViInt32 numberOfMeasurements);

Purpose

Calculates calibration constants pertaining to the VCXO. During external calibration, you can generate sine waves and take measurements of the resulting output frequency. The desired and measured frequencies are passed to this function so that NI-FGEN can calculate the appropriate calibration constants and, when the calibration session is committed, store them in the onboard EEPROM.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
vi ViSession Identifies your instrument session. vi is obtained from the niFgen_InitExtCal function and identifies a particular instrument session.
channelName ViConstString Specifies the name of the channel being calibrated.

Default Value: "0"

configuration ViInt32 Specifies the main path configuration.

requestedAmplitude ViReal64 Specifies the desired amplitude of the output waveform.

frequencies ViReal64[] Specifies the frequencies of the output waveform.

measuredAmplitudes ViReal64[] Specifies the actual (measured) amplitudes of the output waveform.

numberofMeasurements ViInt32 Specifies the number of measurements to take.

Return Value

Name Type Description
Status ViStatus Returns the status code of this operation. The status code either indicates success or describes an error or warning condition. You can examine the status code from each call to an NI-FGEN function to determine if an error occurred. To obtain a text description of the status code, call the niFgen_error_message function. To obtain additional information about the error condition, call the niFgen_GetError function. To clear the error information from NI-FGEN, call the niFgen_ClearError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:

Value Meaning
0 Success
Positive Values Warnings
Negative Values Errors
