niRFSA Export Signal

NI RF Vector Signal Analyzers

niRFSA Export Signal

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

Details

niRFSA_Export_Signal.gif
cio.gif instrument handle identifies your instrument session. instrument handle is obtained from the niRFSA Initialize or the niRFSA Initialize With Options VIs and identifies a particular instrument session.
ci32.gif signal specifies the type of signal to route. You can choose to export the Start, Reference, and Advance triggers and the Ready for Start, Ready for Advance, Ready for Ref, End of Record, and Done events.
cstr.gif output terminal specifies the terminal where the signal will be exported. You can choose not to export any signal.
ccclst.gif error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this VI runs.
cbool.gif status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI ran. The default is FALSE.
ci32.gif 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.
cstr.gif source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
iio.gif instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI. instrument handle is obtained from the niRFSA Initialize or the niRFSA Initialize With Options VIs and identifies a particular instrument session.
icclst.gif error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI produces.
ibool.gif status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
ii32.gif code the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
istr.gif source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI that produced the error or warning.

Details

If you export a signal with this VI and commit the session, the signal is routed to the output terminal you specify. If you then reconfigure the signal to have a different output terminal, the previous output terminal is tristated when the session is next committed. If you change the output terminal to Do Not Export and commit, the previous output terminal is tristated.

Any signals, except for PXI trigger lines, that are exported within a session persist after the session closes to prevent signal glitches between sessions. PXI trigger lines are always set to tristate when a session is closed. If you wish to have the terminal that the signal was exported to tristated when the session closes, first change the output terminal for the exported signal to Do Not Export and commit the session again before closing it.

You can also tristate all PFI lines by setting the reset device parameter in the niRFSA Initialize VI or by using the niRFSA Reset VI.
