niRFSG_ConfigureGenerationMode

niRFSG_ConfigureGenerationMode

C Function Prototype

ViStatus niRFSG_ConfigureGenerationMode (ViSession vi, ViInt32 generationMode);

Purpose

Configures the NI-RFSG device to generate a continuous sine tone (CW), apply I/Q (vector) modulation to the RF output signal, or generate arbitrary waveforms according to scripts. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration state before you call this function.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5653/5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672/5673/5673E, PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842

Parameters

Input
Name	Type	Description
vi	ViSession	Identifies your instrument session. The ViSession handle is obtained from the niRFSG_init function or the niRFSG_InitWithOptions function and identifies a particular instrument session.
generationMode	ViInt32	Specifies the mode used by NI-RFSG for generating an RF output signal. Defined Values: NIRFSG_VAL_CW Configures the RF signal generator to generate a CW signal. NIRFSG_VAL_ARB_WAVEFORM Configures the RF signal generator to generate arbitrary waveforms. NIRFSG_VAL_SCRIPT Configures the RF signal generator to generate arbitrary waveforms as directed by scripts. Default Value: NIRFSG_VAL_CW Note  For the PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5653/5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, only NIRFSG_VAL_CW is supported. Note  If you are using an RF vector signal transceiver (VST) device, some script instructions may not be supported.
