niFgen_ConfigureOutputImpedance

NI-FGEN C Function

niFgen_ConfigureOutputImpedance

ViStatus niFgen_ConfigureOutputImpedance (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViReal64 impedance);

Purpose

Configures the output impedance for the channel you specify.

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 set the output impedance.

Default Value: "0"

impedance ViReal64 Specifies the impedance value that you want the signal generator to use. NI-FGEN sets the NIFGEN_ATTR_OUTPUT_IMPEDANCE attribute to this value.

Units: Ω (ohms)

Defined Values:

NIFGEN_VAL_50_OHMS50 Ω of impedance
NIFGEN_VAL_75_OHMS75 Ω of impedance

Default Value: NIFGEN_VAL_50_OHMS

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
