FGen - Enable Output Step

Use the FGen - Enable Output step to enable waveform generation for the specified FGen pins on all sites in the Pin Map context.

Note The FGen - Enable Output step must be used inside of an ECU Multi Test or ECU Action step with its module adapter configured as Sequence. The FGen - Enable Output step requires the Pin Map context passed from these steps as an input.

Use the FGen - Enable Output step edit tab in the TestStand Sequence Editor to specify the Pin Map context and the pins to query to obtain their associated NI-FGEN instrument sessions.

FGen - Enable Output Step Settings Tab

The FGen - Enable Output Step Settings tab contains the following options:
  • Pin Map Context—Specifies a reference to a Pin Map Context object. This object describes a subset of pins, sites, and instruments from the pin map file and provides data pertinent to each site executing during a test.
  • Pins—Specifies the pins to query to obtain their associated NI-FGEN instrument sessions. These instrument sessions are used to enable waveform generation on the specified pins. The specified pins must be defined in the pin map file and included in the Pin Map context Pins and Relays list in the Options tab of the ECU Multi Test step.
    Note The FGen - Enable Output step filters the pins specified by instrument type ID. If none of the pins specified have an instrument type ID of niFGen, the step will do nothing, as none of the specified pins are connected to NI-FGEN instruments.
