NI RFmx API Differences

RFmx API Differences

The following is a list of general differences between the NI-RFmx C API and the gRPC API provided by grpc-device. These differences all affect all RFmx services.

• nidevice_grpc.Session inputs called instrumentHandle in the C API are called instrument in the gRPC API. handleOut outputs from Initialize methods are also called instrument.
• Unlike the C API, the RFmx gRPC API only supports generic functions for getting and setting attributes. You can see a sample of in this Python example that uses SetAttributeString().
• All Split Fetch methods are not included in the grpc-device API.
