- 3 minute(s) read
Opens a session to the device you specify as the resource name and returns an instrument handle that you use to identify the instrument in all subsequent NI-RFSG VIs. This VI also configures the device using the option string input.
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
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.
option string
—
option string sets the initial value of certain properties for the session. You can set the following properties using this parameter: 
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.
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. 
error in
—
error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality. 
instrument handle
—
instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI. instrument handle is obtained from the niRFSG Initialize VI or this VI and identifies a particular instrument session. 
error out
—
error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality. |
