Ri3156b_set(query)_sine_wave_phase
Description
Programs only the phase of the standard sine wave. This function does NOT select the sine wave as the active
waveform. Note: The frequency, amplitude, and offset may be varied by using the following functions:
ri3156B_set_frequency()
ri3156B_set_amplitude()
ri3156B_set_offset()
You may set all sine wave parameters at once, by using the ri3156B_apply_sine_wave() function, or by using
the individual functions.
Channel Dependency: Independent

Description
instrHandle
ViSession
The Instrument Handle is used to identify the unique
session or communication channel between the driver
and the instrument. If more than one instrument of the
model type is used, this will be used to differentiate
between them. Note that the initialize function may be
used to associate multiple instrument handles with a
single instrument.
phase
ViReal64
Selects the starting phase of the sine wave.
