niFgen Self-Test

Runs the instrument self-test routine and returns the test results.

Note Note  When used on some signal generators, the device will be reset after the niFgen Self-Test VI runs. If you use the niFgen Self-Test VI, your device may not be in its previously configured state after the VI has run.

Instrument Handle identifies your instrument session. Instrument Handle was obtained from the niFgen Initialize VI or niFgen Initialize With Options VI.
Size of Self-Test Message specifies the maximum size of the Self-Test message string and must be set to a minimum of 2048.
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.
Self-Test message returns the self-test response string from the instrument. Refer to the Error and Status Information topic in the NI Signal Generators Help for an explanation of the string contents.
Self-Test result returns the value returned from the instrument self-test. Zero means success. For any other code, refer to the Error and Status Information topic in the NI Signal Generators Help.
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.
