niRFSG Configure RF VI

Configures the frequency and power level of the RF output signal. The PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672, and PXIe-5860 device must be in the Configuration state before you call this VI. The PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXIe-5673/5673E, and PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842 device can be in the Configuration state or Generation state when you call this VI.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672/5673/5673E, PXIe-5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860

frequency specifies the frequency of the generated RF signal. For arbitrary waveform generation, frequency specifies the center frequency of the signal. This value is expressed in hertz.

cdbl.gif

power level specifies the power level of the generated RF signal. By default, this parameter specifies the average power of the signal. To configure the power level of a waveform with varying power, set the Power Level Type property to Peak Power. This value is expressed in dBm.

error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
