Resolution

Description

Functions to control the oscilloscope resolution.

The resolution determines how accurate the amplitude of a signal can be measured. The higher the resolution, the more accurate the input signal can be reconstructed.

Devices can support multiple resolutions, use ScpGetResolutions() to determine the available resolutions for a device.

Besides native hardware resolutions, also enhanced resolutions can be available for a device. Use ScpIsResolutionEnhanced() to determine whether the current resolution is a native hardware resolution or an enhanced resolution.

The resolution can be set manually, but can also be set automatically, when auto resolution mode is enabled.

Function Documentation

uint32_t ScpGetResolutions ( LibTiePieHandle_t  hDevice,
uint8_t *  pList,
uint32_t  dwLength 
)

Get an array with the supported resolutions of the specified oscilloscope.

The caller must assure that the array is available and that enough memory is allocated.

Parameters
[in]hDeviceA device handle identifying the oscilloscope.
[out]pListA pointer to an array to contain the supported resolutions, or NULL.
[in]dwLengthThe number of elements in the array.
Returns
Total number of supported resolutions, or 0 when unsuccessful.
Status values
INVALID_HANDLE The handle is not a valid oscilloscope handle.
OBJECT_GONE The object indicated by the handle is no longer available.
LIBRARY_NOT_INITIALIZEDThe library is not initialized, see LibInit().
SUCCESS The function executed successfully.
Example
uint8_t byResolutionCount = ScpGetResolutions( hDevice , NULL , 0 );
uint8_t* pResolutions = malloc( sizeof( uint8_t ) * byResolutionCount );
byResolutionCount = ScpGetResolutions( hDevice , pResolutions , byResolutionCount );
printf( "ScpGetResolutions:\n" );
for( i = 0 ; i < byResolutionCount ; i++ )
printf( "- %u bits\n" , pResolutions[ i ] );
free( pResolutions );

uint8_t ScpGetResolution ( LibTiePieHandle_t  hDevice)

Get the current resolution of the specified oscilloscope.

Parameters
[in]hDeviceA device handle identifying the oscilloscope.
Returns
The current resolution in bits, or 0 when unsuccessful.
Status values
INVALID_HANDLE The handle is not a valid oscilloscope handle.
OBJECT_GONE The object indicated by the handle is no longer available.
LIBRARY_NOT_INITIALIZEDThe library is not initialized, see LibInit().
SUCCESS The function executed successfully.

uint8_t ScpSetResolution ( LibTiePieHandle_t  hDevice,
uint8_t  byResolution 
)

Set the resolution of the specified oscilloscope.

Parameters
[in]hDeviceA device handle identifying the oscilloscope.
[in]byResolutionThe required resolution in bits.
Returns
The actually set resolution in bits, or 0 when unsuccessful.
Remarks
Changing the resolution may affect the sample frequency, record length and/or channel trigger enabled.
Setting the resolution will set auto resolution mode to AR_DISABLED.
Status values
INVALID_VALUE The requested value is invalid.
INVALID_HANDLE The handle is not a valid oscilloscope handle.
OBJECT_GONE The object indicated by the handle is no longer available.
LIBRARY_NOT_INITIALIZEDThe library is not initialized, see LibInit().
SUCCESS The function executed successfully.

Parameters

Returns
BOOL8_TRUE if the current resolution is enhanced, BOOL8_FALSE otherwise.
Status values
INVALID_HANDLE The handle is not a valid oscilloscope handle.
OBJECT_GONE The object indicated by the handle is no longer available.
