niRFSG_SelectArbWaveform

NI-RFSG C Function

niRFSG_SelectArbWaveform

C Function Prototype

ViStatus niRFSG_SelectArbWaveform (ViSession vi, ViConstString name);

Purpose

Specifies the waveform that is generated upon a call to the niRFSG_Initiate function when the generationMode parameter of the niRFSG_ConfigureGenerationMode function is set to NIRFSG_VAL_ARB_WAVEFORM. You must specify a waveform using the name parameter if you have written multiple waveforms. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration state before calling this function.

Supported Devices: NI 5670/5671/5672

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
vi ViSession Identifies your instrument session. The ViSession handle is obtained from the niRFSG_init function or the niRFSG_InitWithOptions function and identifies a particular instrument session.

Default Value: None

name ViConstString Specifies the name of the stored waveform to generate. This is a case-insensitive alphanumeric string that does not used reserved words. NI-RFSG sets the NIRFSG_ATTR_ARB_SELECTED_WAVEFORM attribute to this value.

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. Examine the status code from each call to an instrument driver function to determine if an error occurred.

To obtain a text description of the status code, call the niRFSG_error_message function. To obtain additional information about the error condition, call the niRFSG_GetError function. To clear the error information from the driver, call the niRFSG_ClearError function.

The general meaning of the status code is as follows:
