Configure Operation - Edit IVI Fgen Step Dialog Box

Configure Operation

Configures a function generator to generate an analog voltage waveform. The output signal is typically functional in nature, such as a sinusoidal or square waveform. Some instruments support the generation of arbitrary waveforms, which consist of user-specified data. If the function generator also supports the generation of arbitrary waveform sequences, the output signal can consist of a sequence of repeated arbitrary waveforms.

Note The Configure operation handles only settings the base IVI class specification supports and the extension groups you specify on the Extensions tab. For best results, enable only the extensions the application requires.

The Edit IVI Fgen Step dialog box for the Configure operation contains the following tabs:

  • Basic —The output mode, clocking, triggering, and modulation of generated signals.
  • Channels —The channel name and settings the function generator outputs.
  • Waveforms —The waveforms to download to the function generator.
  • Sequences —The sequences to download to the function generator.
  • Extensions —The extensions to enable in the dialog box.
  • Operation Settings —Specifies where the dialog box saves and reloads the operation settings.
