Overview
The amount of onboard memory available on a NI Signal Generator is part number specific (i.e. not model specific). This example provides a way to determine how much onboard memory is avaialbe on your Signal Generator.
Description
This VI will programmatically return the memory size information for the selected Function Generator or Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
The VI performs the following actions:
1. Opens a session to the specified signal generator.
2a.Uses the NI-FGEN property node to get the amount of memory in bytes on the signal generator.
2b.Converts the amount of memory from bytes to megabytes.
3. Closes the signal generator session.
Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
NI-FGEN
Hardware
NI Signal Generator
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Select your signal generator in the Resource Name control
2. Run the VI
