Opens a session to the device you specify as the resource name and returns an instrument handle that you use to identify the NI-RFSG device in all subsequent NI-RFSG VIs.

Supported Devices: PXI-5610, PXIe-5611, 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 resource name —

    resource name specifies the resource name of the device to initialize.

    Note For multichannel devices such as the PXIe-5860, the resource name must include the channel number to use. The channel number is specified by appending /ChannelNumber to the device name, where ChannelNumber is the channel number (0, 1, etc.). For example, if the device name is PXI1Slot2 and you want to use channel 0, use the resource name PXI1Slot2/0.
  • cbool.png id query —

    id query specifies whether NI-RFSG performs an ID query. Set this parameter to TRUE to perform an ID query. Set this parameter to FALSE to not perform an ID query.

  • cbool.png reset device —

    reset device specifies whether you want to reset the NI-RFSG device during the initialization procedure. Set this parameter to TRUE to reset the device. Set this parameter to FALSE to not reset the device.

  • 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 —

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

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

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