Initialize External Alignment Step

Initializes an EEPROM-specific external alignment step.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

session in

Instrument session obtained from Initialize With Options.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Default value: No error

datatype_icon

ext align step

External alignment step that you want to initialize.

Preselector Alignment Initiates preselector alignment.

This step generates coefficients to align the preselector across the frequency range of 3.6 GHz to 14 GHz for the PXIe-5605 and the frequency range of 3.6 GHz to 26.5 GHz for the PXIe-5606.

datatype_icon

session out

Reference to your instrument session passed to the next node.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Hardware Support

This node supports the following hardware:

  • PXIe-5605 (PXIe-5665 only)
  • PXIe-5606 (PXIe-5668 only)

Programming Patterns

You must call Close External Alignment Step after you call this node to complete the external alignment.
