I'm using Labview 2012 to control an Agilent 33521A function generator. For my application, I need to burst the wave with a burst period of 1us. The issue is setting the wave programatically; if I manually set up a 1us burst period, everything works fine, however if I wire a 1E -6 constant to the relevant input terminal, the VI throws an error suggesting my burst period is too small. Wiring 2E -6 also works fine, and if I save the manually created waveform to a state and load it programatically, once again, the VI works fine.
The only conclusion I can come to is that there is some sort of floating point error that results in the device receiving a number just shy of 1us. I tried using 1.1E -6 but that didn't work either. On the offchance that someone reading this has the relevant equipment to test the VI out, I'm attaching it, along with a screenshot of the VI throwing an error.
If anyone has any suggestions for a workaround, it would be appreciated!
