Detailed Description
Functions for controlling the generator mode.
A generator can operate in various different modes: Continuous, Burst or Gated. In Continuous mode, the generator continuously generates the selected signal, until the generator is stopped. In Burst mode, the generator generates a specified number of periods of the selected signal or a specified number of samples from the waveform buffer and then stops automatically. In Gated mode, the generator generates (a part of) the selected signal based on a the precence of an external signal on a selected external input of the generator.
Which generator modes are available, depends on the selected signal type and frequency mode. Use tiepie_hw_generator_get_modes() to find out which generator modes are supported for the current settings. Use tiepie_hw_generator_get_modes_native() to find out which generator modes are supported, regardless of the current settings.
By default generator mode is set to continuous (TIEPIE_HW_GM_CONTINUOUS).

Get the current generator mode of a specified generator.
- Parameters
-
[in] handle A device handle identifying the generator.
- Returns
- The currently set generator mode, a TIEPIE_HW_GM_* value, or TIEPIE_HW_GMM_NONE when unsuccessful.

◆ tiepie_hw_generator_set_mode()
| TIEPIE_HW_API uint64_t tiepie_hw_generator_set_mode | ( | tiepie_hw_handle | handle, |
| uint64_t | value | ||
| ) |
Set the generator mode of a specified generator.
- Parameters
-
[in] handle A device handle identifying the generator. [in] value The requested generator mode, a TIEPIE_HW_GM_* value.
- Returns
- The actually set generator mode, a TIEPIE_HW_GM_* value, or TIEPIE_HW_GMM_NONE when unsuccessful.
- Status values
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED The generator does not support setting the generator mode. TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_INVALID_VALUE The requested generator mode is invalid. TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE The handle is not a valid generator handle. TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_OBJECT_GONE TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_LIBRARY_NOT_INITIALIZED TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_SUCCESS
- Remarks
- The new value becomes active after a call to tiepie_hw_generator_start().
