Commits settings to hardware, waits for hardware settling, and starts an acquisition.

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIRfsa

public void Initiate()

Remarks

You can use this method in conjunction with one of the NIRfsa fetch I/Q methods to retrieve acquired I/Q data, or you can use the ReadIQSingleRecordComplex or ReadIQSingleRecordComplexWaveform or MemoryOptimizedReadIQSingleRecordComplex or MemoryOptimizedReadIQSingleRecordComplexWaveform methods to both initiate the acquisition and retrieve I/Q data at one time.
Note

When in the external digitizer mode, this method commits settings and waits for settling, but it does not start an acquisition. Notice that using the Commit method on its own does not wait for hardware settling.

Exceptions
