Configure Offset (G Dataflow)

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

NI-568x uses the offset to compensate for system losses or gains between the device under test (DUT) and the power meter sensor. Use a positive value for loss compensation. Use a negative value for gain compensation. For example, you can compensate for a cable loss of 2 dB by setting offset to 2. Similarly, you can compensate for a gain stage of 10 dB by setting offset to -10. In both cases, the NI-568x reading indicates the power at the DUT rather than the power at the NI-568x device.
