Configure Arbitrary Sequence
Configures the waveform generator properties that affect arbitrary sequence generation, selecting the arbitrary sequence to produce and setting the gain and offset.
The waveform generator must not be in the Generating state when you call this node.
Inputs/Outputs
offset
Offset value the waveform generator adds to the arbitrary waveform in volts (V).
When you create an arbitrary waveform, you must first normalize the data points to a range of -1.00 to +1.00. You can use this input to shift the range of the arbitrary waveform.
For example, to configure the output signal to range from 0.00 V to 2.00 V, set offset to 1.00.
gain
Factor by which the waveform generator scales the arbitrary waveforms in the sequence.
When you create an arbitrary waveform, you must first normalize the data points to a range of -1.00 to +1.00. You can use this input to scale the waveform to other ranges. The gain is applied before the offset is added.
For example, to configure the output signal to range from -2.00 V to +2.00 V, set gain to 2.00.
session in
Handle that identifies your instrument session previously allocated by Initialize With Channels.
error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error
channel name
Name of the waveform generator channel that the node uses.
sequence reference
The handle of the arbitrary sequence to produce.
Wire the sequence reference output of Create Arbitrary Sequence or Create Advanced Arbitrary Sequence to this input to specify the sequence.
session out
Reference to your instrument session to wire to the next node.
error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
Programming Patterns
You must set the output mode input of Configure Output Mode to arbitrary sequence before calling this node.
