niFgen Export Signal

Routes signals (clocks, triggers, and events) to the output terminal you specify.

Any routes created within a session persist after the session closes to prevent signal glitching. To unconfigure signal routes created in previous sessions, set Reset Device in the niFgen Initialize VI to TRUE or use niFgen Reset Device.

If you export a signal with this VI and commit the session, the signal is routed to the output terminal you specify.

Instrument Handle identifies your instrument session. Instrument Handle was obtained from the niFgen Initialize VI or niFgen Initialize With Options VI.
Signal Identifier specifies which instance of the selected signal to export.

"ScriptTrigger2 " Script trigger 2
" ScriptTrigger3" Script trigger 3

"DataMarker3" Data Marker 3
Signal specifies the signal to export.

Defined Values

NIFGEN_VAL_ONBOARD_REFERENCE_CLOCKThe onboard 10MHz synchronization clock (PCI only)
NIFGEN_VAL_SYNC_OUTThe SYNC signal that normally appears on the SYNC_OUT front panel connector.
NIFGEN_VAL_START_TRIGGERStart trigger
NIFGEN_VAL_MARKER_EVENTMarker event
NIFGEN_VAL_SAMPLE_CLOCK_TIMEBASEThe clock from which the sample clock is derived
NIFGEN_VAL_SYNCHRONIZATIONA synchronization strobe used to guarantee absolute synchronization between two or more signal generators. (5404, 5411, 5431 only)
Output Terminal specifies the terminal to export the signal (clock, trigger, or event).

Note:The following defined values are examples of possible output terminals. For a complete list of the output terminals available on your device, refer to the Device Routes tab in MAX.

Defined Values

""Do not export signal
"PFI0" PFI line 0

"PXI_STAR" PXI Star line
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a negative error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source identifies where an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
Instrument Handle Out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source identifies where and why an error occurred. The source string includes the name of the VI that produced the error, what inputs are in error, and how to eliminate the error.
