Utility Functions
Owning Palette: NI-SCOPE VIsUse the NI-SCOPE Utility VIs to perform various tasks such as resetting the digitizer and returning the revision numbers of the driver and the instrument firmware.
| Palette Object | Description |
|---|---|
| niScope Reset |
Resets the digitizer to its default state. |
| niScope Reset Device |
Performs a hard reset of the device. Acquisition stops, all routes are released, RTSI and PFI lines are tristated, FPGAs are reset, hardware is configured to its default state, and all session attributes are reset to their default states. |
| niScope Disable |
Aborts the current task, opens the data channel relays, and releases all RTSI and PFI lines. Use this VI for a condition where you want to stop the current acquisition and disable the channels. |
| niScope Probe Compensation Signal Start |
Generates a 1 kHz square wave signal for probe compensation. |
| niScope Get Session Reference |
Extracts a session that can be passed to NI-TClk VIs. Session References are of generic type, which means that the corresponding wires are blue-green, unlike the wires for regular instrument driver sessions. |
| niScope Error Message |
Takes the error code returned by NI-SCOPE VIs and returns the interpretation as a user-readable string. |
| niScope Self Test |
Runs the device self-test routine and returns the test result(s). |
| niScope Revision Query |
Returns the revision numbers of the instrument driver and instrument firmware. |
| niScope Probe Compensation Signal Stop |
Disables the 1 kHz square wave signal for probe compensation. |
| niScope Get Stream Endpoint Handle |
Returns a writer endpoint that can be used with NI-P2P to configure a peer-to-peer stream with a digitizer endpoint. |
| niScope Is Device Ready |
Returns whether the device is ready to be used to the Device Ready? parameter. |
| niScope CableSense Signal Start |
Generates the CableSense signal on all channels of an oscilloscope for which the signal is enabled, as configured by the CableSense Mode property. |
| niScope CableSense Signal Stop |
Disables the CableSense signal on all channels of an oscilloscope for which the signal is enabled. |
| niScope Get Channel Name (poly) |
Returns a comma-delimited list of channel names. |
