Ri3156b_set(query)_pulse_wave_PRF
Description
Programs only the pulse repetition of the standard pulse wave. This function does NOT select the pulse 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 pulse wave parameters at once, by using the ri3156B_apply_pulse_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.
pulsePRF
ViReal64
Programs the pulse repetition frequency for the pulse
waveform.
Valid range: 0.01 to 25e6 (Hz)
Default: 1e6
Return Values
Displays the return status of the function call. If the function was successful, it will return a status of
VI_SUCCESS, otherwise it will return an error code. Passing the error code into the function
"ri3156B_error_message()" will return a string describing the error.
