National Instruments NI PXI-5422

5. Call niFgen_SetAttributeViReal64 to set the offset (niFgen

property node: Arbitrary Waveform Output»Arbitrary Waveform

Offset) using the following parameters:

•vi: The session handle returned from niFgen_init

•channelName: "0"

•attributeID: NIFGEN_ATTR_ARB_OFFSET

•value: 0

Note You can adjust this value based on which measuring device you use.

6. Call niFgen_SetAttributeViBoolean to set the analog filter state

(niFgen property node: Output Attributes»Analog Filter Enabled)

using the following parameters:

•vi: The session handle returned from niFgen_init

•channelName: "0"

•attributeID: NIFGEN_ATTR_ANALOG_FILTER_ENABLED

•value: VI_TRUE

7. Generate an array of waveform samples. The waveform should have

20 samples per cycle with a total of 500 samples. This configuration

results in 25 sine wave cycles. Because you set the sample rate to 200

MS/s and because you are using 20 samples per cycle, the resulting

waveform is a 10 MHz sine wave.

Note The sample values of this waveform must fall between –1.0 and 1.0.

8. Call niFgen_CreateArbWaveform (niFgen Create Arbitrary

Waveform VI) using the following parameters:

•vi: The session handle returned from niFgen_init

•wfmSize: The size in samples (500) of the waveform you created

in step 7

•wfmData: The array of waveform samples that you created in

step 7

•wfmHandle: The variable passed by reference through this

parameter receives the value (waveform handle) that identifies

the waveform created by this function.

9. Call niFgen_InitiateGeneration (niFgen Initiate Generation VI)

to initiate the waveform generation using the following parameter:

•vi: The session handle returned from niFgen_init

10. Measure the frequency out of the NI PXI-5422.
