Probe Compensation Signal Start
Generates a 1 kHz square wave signal for probe compensation.
Most oscilloscopes output the probe compensation signal on PFI 1.

Inputs/Outputs

session in
Handle that identifies the NI-SCOPE instrument session as previously allocated by Initialize With Options .

error in
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Default value: No error

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

error out
Error information.
The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
Hardware Support
This node does not support the following hardware:
- PXIe-5185
- PXIe-5186
- PXIe-5622
- PXI/PCI-5922
Device-Specific Behavior
The following oscilloscopes output the probe compensation signal in unique locations.
Device | Output Location |
---|---|
PXIe-5110 PXIe-5111 PXIe-5113 |
Probe compensation terminal
Note The signal at this terminal is enabled by default.
|
PXIe-5163 PXIe-5164 |
SMB PFI 0
Note Though the PFI 0 line is also available from the AUX 0 MHDMR connector of these oscilloscopes, the probe compensation signal is available only from SMB PFI 0.
