. Controls are displayed in which you can specify
a frequency and power level.
12. In the VI front panel
power level (dBm)
control, enter
0
. In the
frequency (Hz)
control, enter
100M
(100 MHz).
13. In the VI front panel
resource name
control, enter the NI 5610
upconverter device name or the NI 5650/5651/5652 device name that
you specified in MAX (the NI 5610 upconverter module must be
associated with an AWG module. Refer to the
section for more information about
associating a module.)
You can control continuous waveform generation using a
Stop
button.
A
Stop
button is typically used within a While Loop. This example places
a While Loop around the niRFSG Check Generation Status VI so that
signal generation continues and waveform status is continuously checked
until you click STOP.
Build a STOP button by completing steps 14 through 18.
