Detailed Description

Functions for controlling the phase of a generator.

The phase defines the starting point in the period of the signal that is generated, as well as the ending point. The phase of a generator can be set between a minimum and a maximum value. Use tiepie_hw_generator_get_phase_min() and tiepie_hw_generator_get_phase_max() to get the phase limits.

The phase is defined as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 defines the beginning of the period (0°) and 1 defines the end of the period (360°).

Phase is not available on all instruments and all signal types. Use tiepie_hw_generator_has_phase() to check whether phase is available for your instrument and for the currently set signal type.

By default the phase is set to: 0.

◆ tiepie_hw_generator_get_phase()

TIEPIE_HW_API double tiepie_hw_generator_get_phase ( tiepie_hw_handle handle )

Get the current signal phase of a specified generator.

Parameters

[in] handle A device handle identifying the generator.

Returns: The currently set signal phase, a number between 0 and 1.

Status values

TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED	The generator does not support phase for the current signal type.

◆ tiepie_hw_generator_set_phase()

TIEPIE_HW_API double tiepie_hw_generator_set_phase	(	tiepie_hw_handle	handle,
		double	value
	)

Set the signal phase of a specified generator.

Parameters

[in]	handle	A device handle identifying the generator.
[in]	value	The requested signal phase, a number between `0` and `1`.

Returns: The actually set signal phase, a number between 0 and 1.

Status values

TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_VALUE_CLIPPED	The requested phase is outside the valid range and clipped to the closest limit.
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_VALUE_MODIFIED	The requested phase is within the valid range but not available. The closest valid value is set.
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED	The generator does not support phase for the current signal type.
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_NOT_CONTROLLABLE
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: When the generator is active, changing the phase will shortly interrupt the output signal.; When signal type DC or Noise is active, setting phase is not available.
