Configures the waveform, amplitude, DC offset, frequency, and start phase standard waveform properties of the waveform generator.
You must set the output mode input of Configure Output Mode to standard function before calling this node.
The horizontal offset of the standard waveform that you want the waveform generator to produce in degrees of one waveform cycle. The Start Phase property sets to this value
A start phase of 180 degrees means output generation begins halfway through the waveform. Whereas a start phase of 360 degrees offsets the output by an entire waveform cycle and is therefore identical to a start phase of 0 degrees.
Behavior with DC Waveform Type
This input does not affect waveform generator behavior if you set the waveform input of Configure Standard Waveform or Create Frequency List to DC.
The frequency of the standard waveform that you want the waveform generator to produce in Hz. The Frequency property sets to this value.
Frequency ranges vary by waveform generator. This input does not affect waveform generator behavior when you set the waveform input to DC.
The DC offset of the standard waveform that you want the waveform generator to produce in volts (V). The DC Offset property sets to this value.
This value is the offset at the output terminal. As an example, to configure a waveform with an amplitude of 10.00 V to range from 0.00 V to +10.00 V, set DC offset to 5.00 V.
Handle that identifies your instrument session previously allocated by Initialize With Channels.
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
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.
Default: No error
Name of the waveform generator channel that the node uses.
Standard waveform that you want the waveform generator to produce. The Waveform property sets to this value.
Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Sine | 0 | The waveform generator produces a sine waveform. |
Square | 1 | The waveform generator produces a square waveform. |
Triangle | 2 | The waveform generator produces a triangle waveform. |
Ramp Up | 3 | The waveform generator produces a ramp up waveform. |
Ramp Down | 4 | The waveform generator produces a ramp down waveform. |
DC | 5 | The waveform generator produces a DC waveform. |
Noise | 6 | The waveform generator produces a noise waveform. |
User | 7 | The waveform generator produces a user-defined waveform. |
Default: Sine
Amplitude of the standard waveform that you want the waveform generator to produce in Vpk-pk. The Amplitude property sets to this value.
This value is the amplitude at the output terminal. As an example, to produce a waveform ranging from -5.00 V to +5.00 V, set amplitude to 10.00 V.
Behavior with DC Waveform Type
This input does not affect waveform generator behavior if you set the waveform input to DC.
