IVI FGEN resets frequency to 1k before each run

I'm using an Agilent 33220A function generator through the IVI FGEN Standard Function. I'm using a Sweep step to step through a range of frequencies. Everything's working great except that each time I start a run, the 33220 is reset to 1kHz. (I'm sweeping from 25990 to 26010 Hz.) Is there any way to keep this from happening? I tried setting the Frequency parameter in the IVI FGEN step to 25990, but that didn't help.

Hello Steve,

 

There should be a VI in the 'Getting Started' example called 'Initialize with Options'. Open that VI up and see if there is a true constant wired to the 'Reset Device' terminal. If there is, that is the reason that your sweep reinitializes every time.

Hi, Ryan:

 

I'm not at my computer at the moment, but I don't believe SignalExpress has an Initialize with Options VI does it?

Hello Steve,

 

I did not realize you were using Signal Express. I will continue to look into why this is happening.
