Hardware State Diagram

The following diagram shows the hardware states of the PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652

• Configuration (Idle)- The device is not generating a signal. All session properties or attributes can be programmed in the Configuration state. In the Configuration state, the properties or attributes have not necessarily been applied to hardware, and the hardware configuration of the device may not match the session property or attribute values. The device remains configured as it was the last time a session was committed. If the computer has just been powered on, reset, or theniRFSG Reset Device VI or the niRFSG_ResetDevice function has just been called, the device is in the default hardware state.
• Commit (or Aborted)- Applies the device properties or attributes to the hardware.
• Generation- In the Generation state, the device is generating a waveform as specified by the session properties or attributes configured. Dynamic (or on-the-fly) properties and attributes are applied immediately to hardware. Dynamic properties and attributes can be applied to the device immediately if set while the session is in the Generation state.
