niRFSG Configure Generation Mode

NI-RFSG LabVIEW

niRFSG Configure Generation Mode

Configures the NI-RFSG device to generate a continuous sine tone (CW), apply IQ (vector) modulation to the RF output signal, or generate arbitrary waveforms according to scripts. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration state before you call this VI.

Supported Devices: NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672

Note  After you initialize the RF signal generator or call the niRFSG Reset VI or the niRFSG Reset Device VI, generation mode is set to CW.

instrument handle identifies your instrument session. instrument handle is obtained from either the niRFSG Initialize VI or the niRFSG Initialize With Options VI.

generation mode specifies the mode used by NI-RFSG for generating an RF output signal. NI-RFSG sets the Generation Mode property to this value.

CW Configures the RF signal generator to generate a CW signal.
Arb Waveform Configures the RF signal generator to generate arbitrary waveforms.
Script Configures the RF signal generator to generate arbitrary waveforms as directed by scripts.

Default Value: CW

error in accepts error information from previously called VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

status is either TRUE (X) for an error, or FALSE (?) for no error or warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

ci32.gif

code identifies the error or warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI. instrument handle out is obtained from the niRFSG Initialize VI or the niRFSG Initialize With Options VI and identifies a particular instrument session.

error out passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

ibool.gif

status is either TRUE (X) for an error, or FALSE (?) for no error or warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
