niFgen Create Waveform (I16) VI
- Updated2025-10-07
- 3 minute(s) read
Creates an onboard waveform from I16 data for use in Arbitrary Waveform or Arbitrary Sequence output mode. The Waveform Handle returned by the VI can be used later for setting the active waveform, changing the data in the waveform, building sequences of waveforms, or deleting the waveform when it is no longer needed.
This VI can also create an onboard waveform from complex data for use on devices with the OSP Enabled property set to TRUE and the Data Processing Mode property set to Complex. To write complex data, you must interleave the I and Q value pairs.

Inputs/Outputs
Instrument Handle
—
Instrument Handle identifies a particular instrument session. Instrument Handle is obtained from the niFgen Initialize VI, niFgen Initialize With Options VI, or the niFgen Initialize With Channels VI.
Channel Name
—
Channel Name specifies the channel that this VI uses.
Waveform Data Array
—
Waveform Data Array specifies the array of data you want to use for the new arbitrary waveform. You must normalize the data points in the array to be between -32768 and 32767 inclusive.
error in (no error)
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. Default value: no error
Instrument Handle Out
—
Instrument Handle Out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI.
Waveform Handle
—
Waveform Handle returns a handle that identifies the waveform.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
