Configure Vertical

Configures the most commonly configured properties of the digitizer vertical subsystem, such as the range, offset, coupling, probe attenuation, and the channel name.

Note Some features are not supported by all digitizers.

Inputs/Outputs

datatype_icon

vertical coupling

The method used to couple the input signal.

When input coupling changes, the input stage takes a finite amount of time to settle.

AC 0 Couples the input signal with an AC current.
DC 1 Couples the input signal with a DC current.
Ground 2 Couples the input signal with a ground signal.

Default value: DC

datatype_icon

probe attenuation

The probe attenuation for the input channel.

Default value: 1

datatype_icon

session in

Handle that identifies the NI-SCOPE instrument session as previously allocated by 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

channels

The channel(s) from which to acquire data.

Channel String Syntax

This input parameter has the following syntax options:
  • A single channel, such as 0
  • A list of channels, such as 0,1 or 3,2,1,0
  • A range of channels, such as 0-7 or 0:7
  • A combination of channels from multiple instruments, such as PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3,PXI1Slot4/2-3
Note The order of channels in a list is important. The data for each channel is returned in the order the channels occur in the list.
datatype_icon

vertical range

The absolute value of the input range for a channel.

For example, to acquire a sine wave that spans between -5 and +5 V, set vertical range to 10.0 V.

Default value: 10

datatype_icon

vertical offset

The location of the center of the range with respect to ground.

For example, to acquire a sine wave that spans between 0.0 and 10.0 V, set this parameter to 5.0 V.

Default value: 0

datatype_icon

channel enabled

A Boolean value that specifies whether the channel is enabled for acquisition.

True The channel is enabled for acquisition.
False The channel is not enabled for acquisition.

Default value: True

datatype_icon

session out

Reference to the NI-SCOPE instrument session to pass to the next node in the program.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
