NI PXI-5404
Generating a Sine Wave

Complete the following steps to generate a sine wave with the NI PXI-5404

1. Initialize an NI-FGEN session to the appropriate device (niFgen Initialize VI or niFgen_init function).
2. Set the appropriate standard function properties or attributes for the desired generation.
   
   
   

   Property	Attribute	Value
   Waveform	NIFGEN_ATTR_FUNC_WAVEFORM	NIFGEN_VAL_WFM_SINE
   Frequency	NIFGEN_ATTR_FUNC_FREQUENCY	Desired frequency (Hz), 0 MHz to 105 MHz
   Amplitude	NIFGEN_ATTR_FUNC_AMPLITUDE	Desired amplitude (Vpk-pk into a 50 Ω load), 1Vpk-pk to 2 Vpk-pk

   
   
   
3. Initiate the generation (niFgen Initiate Generation VI or niFgen_InitiateGeneration function). The sine wave should be generated at the SINE Out terminal.
4. If you want to stop the generation, do so by disabling the output (niFgen Output Enable VI or niFgen_ConfigureOutputEnabled function) and/or aborting the generation (niFgen Abort Generation VI or niFgen_AbortGeneration function).
5. Close the NI-FGEN session (niFgen Close VI or niFgen_close function).

The following table lists the NI-FGEN sine wave example for various ADEs.
