niRFSA Export Signal VI

niRFSA Export Signal VI

Routes signals (triggers, clocks, and events) to the specified output terminal.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI-5661, PXIe-5663/5663E/5665/5667/5668, PXIe-5694, PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860

Details Examples

	instrument handle identifies your instrument session. instrument handle is obtained from the niRFSA Initialize VI or the niRFSA Initialize With Options VI.
	signal specifies the type of signal to route. Start Trigger NI-RFSA routes a Start Trigger. Ref Trigger NI-RFSA routes a Reference Trigger. Advance Trigger NI-RFSA routes an Advance Trigger. Ready for Start Event NI-RFSA routes a Ready for Start Event. Ready for Advance Event NI-RFSA routes a Ready for Advance Event. Ready for Ref Event NI-RFSA routes a Ready for Reference Event. End of Record Event NI-RFSA routes an End of Record Event. Done Event NI-RFSA routes a Done Event. Ref Clock NI-RFSA routes a Reference Clock signal. User NI-RFSA routes a user-defined signal, specified using the signal identifier parameter.
	signal identifier specifies the user-defined signal to route. Specify the signal you have implemented using FPGA extensions.
	output terminal specifies the terminal where the signal is exported. You can also choose not to export any signal. For the PXIe-5841 with PXIe-5655, the signal is exported to the terminal on the PXIe-5841. Do not export signal The signal is not exported. ClkOut The signal is exported to the CLK OUT connector on the IF digitizer. This value is not valid for the PXIe-5644/5645/5646 or PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860. RefOut The signal is exported to the REF IN/OUT terminal on the PXI/PXIe-5652, the REF OUT terminals on the PXIe-5653, or the REF OUT terminal on the PXIe-5694, PXIe-5644/5645/5646, or PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860. RefOut2 The signal is exported to the REF OUT2 terminal on the PXIe-5652. This value is valid only for the PXIe-5663E. PFI0 The signal is exported to the PFI 0 connector. PFI1 The signal is exported to the PFI 1 connector on the PXI-5142 and PXIe-5622. PXI_Trig0 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 0. PXI_Trig1 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 1. PXI_Trig2 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 2. PXI_Trig3 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 3. PXI_Trig4 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 4. PXI_Trig5 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 5. PXI_Trig6 The signal is exported to the PXI trigger line 6. PXIe_DStarC The signal is exported to the PXI DStar C trigger line. This value is valid on only the PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860.
	error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
	instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI. instrument handle is obtained from the niRFSA Initialize VI or the niRFSA Initialize With Options VI and identifies a particular instrument session.
	error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.

Details

If you export a signal with this VI and commit the session, the signal is routed to the output terminal you specify. If you then reconfigure the signal to have a different output terminal, the previous output terminal is tristated when the session is next committed. If you set the output terminal parameter to Do Not Export and commit, the previous output terminal is tri-stated.

Any signals, except for those exported over PXI trigger lines, that are exported within a session persist after the session closes to prevent signal glitches between sessions. PXI trigger lines are always set to tristate when a session is closed. If you wish to have the output terminal tristated when the session closes, change the output terminal for the exported signal to Do Not Export, and commit the session again before closing it.

You can also tristate all PFI lines by setting the reset input in the niRFSA Initialize VI to TRUE or by using the niRFSA Reset VI.
