niFgen_ConfigureOutputMode
ViStatus niFgen_ConfigureOutputMode (ViSession vi, ViInt32 outputMode);
Purpose
Configures the output mode of the signal generator. The output mode determines the type of waveforms the signal generator produces.
For example, you can choose to generate a standard waveform, an arbitrary waveform, or a sequence of arbitrary waveforms.

Note The signal generator must not be in the Generating state when you call this 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. | ||||||||||
| outputMode | ViInt32 | Specifies the output mode that you want the signal generator to use. The value you specify determines which functions and attributes you can use to configure the waveform the signal generator produces. Refer to the NIFGEN_ATTR_OUTPUT_MODE attribute for more information on setting this parameter. Defined Values
Default Value: NIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_FUNC |

| 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:
