Signal type

Description

Functions for controlling the signal type.

The generator supports several standard signal types. Depending on the signal type that is set, other properties of the generator are available:

Signal type	Amplitude	Offset	Frequency	Phase	Symmetry	Data
Sine	yes	yes	yes	yes	yes	no
Triangle	yes	yes	yes	yes	yes	no
Square	yes	yes	yes	yes	yes	no
DC	no	yes	no	no	no	no
Noise	yes	yes	yes	no	no	no
Arbitrary	yes	yes	yes	yes	no	yes

By default signal type is set to: Sine (ST_SINE).

Function Documentation

uint32_t GenGetSignalTypes

(

TpDeviceHandle_t

hDevice

)

Get supported signal types.

Parameters

hDevice

A device handle.

Returns

Supported signal types, a set of ST_* values.

Since

0.4.0

uint32_t GenGetSignalType

(

TpDeviceHandle_t

hDevice

)

Get signal type.

Parameters

hDevice

A device handle.

Returns

Signal type, a ST_* value.

Since

0.4.0

uint32_t GenSetSignalType	(	TpDeviceHandle_t	hDevice,
		uint32_t	dwSignalType
	)

Set signal type.

Parameters

hDevice	A device handle.
dwSignalType	Signal type, a ST_* value.

Returns

Signal type, a ST_* value.

Remarks

When the generator is active, changing the signal type may shortly interrupt the output signal.

Changing the signal type can affect the frequency mode.

Setting certain signal types will make other generator properties unavailable.

Since

0.4.0
