niFgen_ConfigureOperationMode
ViStatus niFgen_ConfigureOperationMode (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViInt32 operationMode);
Purpose
Determines how the signal generator produces waveforms. NI signal generators support only Continuous Operation mode. To control trigger mode, use the niFgen_ConfigureTriggerMode function.
Parameters
| Input | ||
| Name | Type | Description |
| vi | ViSession | Identifies your instrument session. vi is obtained from the niFgen_init or the niFgen_InitWithOptions functions and identifies a particular instrument session. |
| channelName | ViConstString | Specifies the channel name for which you want to configure the operation mode.
Defined Value: "0" |
| operationMode | ViInt32 | Specifies the operation mode you want the signal generator to use. NI-FGEN sets the NIFGEN_ATTR_OPERATION_MODE attribute to this value. Only one value is supported.
Defined Value: NIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_CONTINUOUS |
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:
