Returns the number of channels that NI-FGEN supports. For each property for which IVI_VAL_MULTI_CHANNEL is set, the IVI engine maintains a separate cache value for each channel.
Instrument:Inherent IVI Attributes:Instrument Identification:Manufacturer
Returns the name of the instrument manufacturer you are currently using.
Instrument:Inherent IVI Attributes:Instrument Identification:Model
Returns the model number or name of the instrument that you are currently using.
Instrument:Inherent IVI Attributes:Instrument Identification:Firmware Revision
Returns the firmware revision information for the instrument you are currently using.
Instrument:Inherent IVI Attributes:Instrument Identification:Module Revision
Returns the revision letter of the module you are using.
Instrument:Inherent IVI Attributes:Advanced Session Information:Logical Name
Returns the logical name you specified when opening the current IVI session.
Instrument:Inherent IVI Attributes:Advanced Session Information:Resource Descriptor
Returns the resource descriptor NI-FGEN uses to identify the physical device.
Instrument:5401/5411/5431:Filter Correction Frequency
Specifies the filter correction frequency of the analog filter. This property can correct for the ripples in the analog filter frequency response at the frequency specified.
Instrument:5401/5411/5431:Trigger Source
Specifies which trigger source the signal generator uses.
Instrument:5401/5411/5431:Synchronization Source
Specifies the source of the synchronization signal to use.
Instrument:5401/5411/5431:Video Waveform Type
Specifies the waveform type the NI 5431 generates. Setting this property ensures the oscillator crystal is set to the proper frequency.
Instrument:Obsolete:Major Version
Returns the major version number of NI-FGEN.
Instrument:Obsolete:Minor Version
Returns the minor version number of NI-FGEN.
Instrument:Obsolete:Error Elaboration
Contains an optional string with additional information concerning the primary error condition.
Instrument:Obsolete:Primary Error
Describes the first error that occurred since the last call to the niFgen Error Message VI on the session.
Instrument:Obsolete:Secondary Error
Provides an optional code with additional information concerning the primary error condition. The error and warning values can be status codes defined by IVI, VISA, class drivers, or specific drivers. Zero indicates no additional information.
Instrument:Obsolete:Operation Mode
Specifies how the signal generator produces waveforms. NI signal generators currently support only one value: NIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_CONTINUOUS. To control trigger mode, set the Trigger Mode property.
Instrument:Obsolete:Ref Clock Source
Controls the Reference Clock source the signal generator uses.
Instrument:Obsolete:Update Clock Source
Controls the Update Clock source.
Instrument:Obsolete:Actual Arb Sample Rate
Returns the actual sample rate value of the signal generator after any coercion or rounding.
Instrument:Obsolete:DAQmx Task
Returns the NI-DAQmx task pointer.
