Configures the NI-RFSG device to generate a continuous sine tone (CW), apply I/Q (vector) modulation to the RF output signal, or generate arbitrary waveforms according to scripts. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration state before you call this VI.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5653/5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, PXI-5670/5671, PXIe-5672/5673/5673E, PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860

Inputs/Outputs

  • civrn.png instrument handle —

    instrument handle identifies your instrument session. instrument handle is obtained from either the niRFSG Initialize VI or the niRFSG Initialize With Options VI.

  • ci32.png generation mode —

    generation mode specifies the mode used by NI-RFSG for generating an RF output signal.

    CW (default) Configures the RF signal generator to generate a CW signal.
    Arb Waveform Configures the RF signal generator to generate a arbitrary waveforms.
    Script Configures the RF signal generator to generate arbitrary waveforms as directed by scripts.
    Note For the PXI/PXIe-5650/5651/5652, PXIe-5654/5654 with PXIe-5696, only CW generation mode is supported.
    Note If you are using an RF vector signal transceiver (VST) device, some script instructions may not be supported.
  • cerrcodeclst.png error in —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • iivrn.png instrument handle out —

    instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI. instrument handle out is obtained from the niRFSG Initialize VI or the niRFSG Initialize With Options VI.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
