Use the utility VIs to access additional features of the NI-RFSG instrument driver.

niRFSG Initialize With Options VI
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.
niRFSG Commit VI
Programs the device with the correct settings. Calling this VI moves the NI-RFSG device from the Configuration state to the Committed state. After this VI executes, a change to any property reverts the NI-RFSG device to the Configuration state.
niRFSG Wait Until Settled VI
Waits until the RF output signal settles. This VI is useful for devices that support changes while in the Generation state. Call this VI after making a dynamic change to wait for the output signal to settle. You can also call this VI after calling the niRFSG Commit VI to wait for changes to settle. The niRFSG Wait Until Settled VI is not required after calling the niRFSG Initiate VI because the niRFSG Initiate VI automatically waits for the output to settle.
niRFSG Configure Output Enabled VI
Enables or disables signal output. Setting output enabled to FALSE while in the Generation state attenuates the generated signal so that no signal is output.
niRFSG Self Test VI
Performs a self-test on the NI-RFSG device and returns the test results. This VI performs a simple series of tests to determine whether the NI-RFSG device is powered up and responding. This VI does not affect external I/O connections or connections between devices. Complete functional testing and calibration are not performed by this VI. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration state before you call this VI.
niRFSG Reset VI
Resets all properties to their default values and moves the NI-RFSG device to the Configuration state. This VI aborts the signal generation, clears all routes, deletes all de-embedding tables, and resets session properties to their initial values. During a reset, routes of signals between this and other devices are released, regardless of which device created the route.
niRFSG Reset With Options VI
Resets all properties to default values and specifies steps to omit during the reset process, such as signal routes.
niRFSG Reset Device VI
Performs a hard reset on the device, which consists of the following actions:
niRFSG Save Configurations To File VI
Saves the configurations of the session to the specified file.
niRFSG Load Configurations From File VI
Loads the configurations from the specified file to the NI-RFSG driver session. The VI does an implicit reset before loading the configurations from the file.
niRFSG Perform Power Search VI
Performs a power search if the ALC Control property is disabled. Calling this VI disables modulation for a short time while the device levels the output signal.
niRFSG Get Session Reference VI
Extracts a session that can be passed to NI-TClk VIs. Session References are of generic data type, which means that the corresponding wires are blue-green, unlike the wires for regular instrument driver sessions.
niRFSG Revision Query VI
Returns the revision numbers of the NI-RFSG driver and the instrument firmware.
niRFSG Query Arb Waveform Capabilities VI
Queries and returns the arbitrary waveform capabilities of the NI-RFSG device. These capabilities are related to the current device configuration. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Configuration or Generation state before you call this VI.
niRFSG Perform Thermal Correction VI
Corrects for any signal drift due to temperature variation when generating the same signal for extended periods of time without a parameter change. Under normal circumstances of short-term signal generation, NI-RFSG performs thermal correction automatically by ensuring stable power levels, and you do not need to call this VI. Use this VI when generating the same signal for a long period of time in a temperature-fluctuating environment. The NI-RFSG device must be in the Generation state before you call this VI.
niRFSG Error Message VI
Converts a error code returned by an NI-RFSG VI into a user-readable string. Instead of using this VI, most applications will use an Error Out control or the Simple Error Handler in LabVIEW to display error information.
niRFSG Get Max Settable Power VI
Returns the maximum settable output power level for the current configuration.
