PXIe-5413 Burst Standard Waveform

[kellyd822]

I am having trouble configuring the PXIe-5413 function generator to operate in burst mode. The device works as intended when configured to operate continuously after receiving a software trigger. When I execute the section of code below, the InitiateGeneration returns with the error “Invalid value for parameter or property”. I tried removing that call and the SendSoftwareTrigger returns a ‘Specified operation can be performed only when the task is running’ error. If the IVIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_BURST is replaced with IVIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_CONTINOUS, after the 5.0 second wait and software trigger the sine wave appears on the output.

// IVI_Session is valid, device initiated.

IviFgen_AbortGeneration(IVI_Session);

IviFgen_ConfigureOutputMode (IVI_Session, IVIFGEN_VAL_OUTPUT_FUNC); IviFgen_ConfigureStandardWaveform (IVI_Session, ChanName, IVIFGEN_VAL_WFM_SINE,0.5, 0.0,1000,0);

IviFgen_ConfigureOperationMode (IVI_Session, ChanName, IVIFGEN_VAL_OPERATE_BURST);

IviFgen_ConfigureTriggerSource (IVI_Session, ChanName, IVIFGEN_VAL_SOFTWARE_TRIG);                            

IviFgen_ConfigureStartTrigger (IVI_Session, ChanName, IVIFGEN_VAL_TRIGGER_SOURCE_SOFTWARE, IVIFGEN_VAL_TRIGGER_POSITIVE);

IviFgen_SetAttributeViInt32 (IVI_Session, ChanName,IVIFGEN_ATTR_BURST_COUNT,50);

IviFgen_ConfigureOutputEnabled (IVI_Session,"",VI_TRUE);                                                                         

IviFgen_InitiateGeneration (IVI_Session);                                                                                              

Delay(5.0);

IviFgen_SendSoftwareTrigger (IVI_Session);

NI FGEN version 17.5.0 and IVI compliance package 16.0

Hello kellyd822,

What development environment are you using this code in? Have you checked the NI FGEN reference help documentation?

Best regards,
