ni5690 Configure Path

ni5690 Configure Path

Specifies the path through which the signal is routed. For the NI PXI-5690/5691, the main path allows you to configure gain using the ni5690 Configure Gain VI. The direct path routes the input signal directly to the output of the RF signal conditioning device. This VI reports errors if the appropriate channel name is not specified. For NI PXI-5690/5691 devices, refer to Using CH 1 for more information about paths. For NI PXI-5695 devices, refer to Using CH 0 for more information about paths.

Note  The NI 5690 and NI 5691 support configurable paths for CH 1 only, while the NI 5695 supports configurable paths for CH 0 only.

instrument handle identifies your instrument session. instrument handle was obtained from the ni5690 Initialize VI and identifies a particular instrument session.
channel name specifies the channel in which to use the specified path. The default value is 0.

path specifies the path used. The default value is Main Path. The table below shows how the main path and direct path vary by device.

cerrcodeclst.gif error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.
instrument handle out passes a reference to your instrument session to the next VI. instrument handle is obtained from the ni5690 Initialize VI and identifies a particular instrument session.
ierrcodeclst.gif error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
