Data Processing Mode

NI Signal Generator

Data Processing Mode

Data Processing mode determines whether the OSP block uses only the I signal path to generate waveforms or uses the I and Q signal paths to generate complex waveforms. If the Data Processing Mode property is set to Real or the NIFGEN_ATTR_OSP_DATA_PROCESSING_MODE attribute is set to NIFGEN_VAL_OSP_REAL then only the I signal path is used. If the Data Processing Mode property is set to Complex or the NIFGEN_ATTR_OSP_DATA_PROCESSING_MODE attribute is set to NIFGEN_VAL_OSP_COMPLEX, both the I and Q signal paths are used. Complex waveform data should be downloaded to the signal generator using the niFgen Write Waveform Complex VI or the niFgen_WriteWaveformComplexf64 function.
