niFgen Set Sample Rate VI
- Updated2025-10-07
- 2 minute(s) read
Configures the sample rate, which determines the rate at which the signal generator produces arbitrary waveforms. When you configure the signal generator to produce an arbitrary sequence, this is the sample rate for all arbitrary waveforms in the sequence. If the update clock (Sample clock) source is external, setting the sample rate informs NI-FGEN of the external rate.

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.
Sample Rate (Samp/s)
—
Sample Rate specifies the sample rate at which you want the signal generator to generate arbitrary waveforms. If you are using an external update clock (Sample clock), this is the frequency of the external update clock. Units: Samples per second (S/s)
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.
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
