niRFSG Self Test

NI-RFSG LabVIEW

niRFSG Self Test

Performs a self-test on the NI-RFSG device and returns the test results. This VI performs a simple series of tests to determine whether the NI-RFSG device is powered up and responding. This VI does not affect external I/O connections or connections between devices. Complete functional testing and calibration are not performed by this VI. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration state before you call this VI.

Supported Devices: NI 5610 (upconverter only mode), NI 5650/5651/5652/5670/5671/5672

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

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.

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.

self test result returns the value returned from the device self-test. A value of 0 indicates that the device is powered-up and responding. A value of 1 indicates that the device failed the self test.

istr.gif

self test message returns the self-test response string from the NI-RFSG device.

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.
