NIFGEN_ATTRIBUTE_FILTER_CORRECTION_FREQUENCY

Specific Attribute

Numeric Value	Data Type	Access	Applies to	Coercion	High-Level Functions
1150104	ViReal64	R/W	N/A	None	None

Description

Controls the filter correction frequency of the analog filter. This property can correct for the ripples in the analog filter frequency response at the frequency specified. When using the Standard Waveform output mode, this property should be set to the same frequency as the standard waveform. To disable filter correction, set this property to 0.

Units: hertz

Default Value: 0

NIFGEN_ATTRIBUTE_TRIGGER_SOURCE

IviFgenTrigger Attribute

Numeric Value	Data Type	Access	Applies to	Coercion	High-Level Functions
1250302	ViInt32	R/W	Channel	None	[OBSOLETE] niFgen_ConfigureTriggerSource

Description

Controls which trigger source the signal generator uses.

After you call the niFgen_InitiateGeneration function, the signal generator waits for the trigger that you specify in the triggerSource parameter in the niFgen_ConfigureTriggerSource function. After the signal generator receives a trigger, it produces the number of cycles that you specify in the NIFGEN_ATTRIBUTE_CYCLE_COUNT attribute.

This attribute is also the source for the trigger in the other trigger modes as specified by the NIFGEN_ATTRIBUTE_TRIGGER_MODE attribute.

NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_1	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 1 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_2	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 2 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_3	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 3 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_4	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 4 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_5	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 5 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_6	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 6 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_RTSI_7	Specifies that the generator use the RTSI line 7 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_PXI_STAR	Specifies that the generator use the PXI star trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL0	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG0 or VXI TTL0 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL1	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG1 or VXI TTL1 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL2	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG2 or VXI TTL2 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL3	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG3 or VXI TTL3 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL4	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG4 or VXI TTL4 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL5	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG5 or VXI TTL5 trigger source.
NIFGEN_VAL_TTL6	Specifies that the generator use the PXI TRIG6 or VXI TTL6 trigger source.

Default Value: NIFGEN_VAL_IMMEDIATE
