NI-RFSG LabVIEW Reference
September 2007, 371000D-01
This help file contains technical and programming support for using the NI-RFSG LabVIEW API. This help file provides reference material for the NI-RFSG VIs and properties.
Use the NI-RFSG VIs to program NI RF signal generators using the NI-RFSG instrument driver.
Palette Object | Description |
---|---|
niRFSG Initialize |
Initializes the NI-RFSG device and performs the following initialization actions: - Creates a new instrument driver session. - Opens a session to the device you specify as the resource name parameter. - If reset device is set to TRUE, this VI resets the device to a known state. - Returns an instrument handle that you use to identify the NI-RFSG device in all subsequent NI-RFSG VIs. Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672 |
niRFSG Configure RF |
Configures the frequency and power level of the RF output signal. The NI 5670/5671/5672 device must be in the Configuration state before you call this VI. The NI 5650/5651/5652 device can be in the Configuration state or Generation state when you call this VI. Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672 |
niRFSG Initiate |
Initiates signal generation, causing the NI-RFSG device to leave the Configuration state or Committed state and enter the Generation state. If settings have not been committed to the device before you use this VI, they are committed with this VI. The operation returns when the RF output signal settles. To return to the Configuration state, use the niRFSG Abort VI. Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672 |
niRFSG Check Generation Status |
Checks the status of the generation. Use this VI to check for any errors that may occur during signal generation, or to check whether the device has finished generating. Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672 |
niRFSG Close |
Performs the following closing actions: - Aborts any signal generation in progress. - Destroys the instrument driver session and any set properties. Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672 |
niRFSG Abort |
Aborts a previously initiated signal generation. Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672 |
