Detailed Description

Functions for controlling signal frequency, sample rate and frequency mode of a generator.

The frequency of a generator can be set between a minimum and a maximum value. Use tiepie_hw_generator_get_frequency_min() and tiepie_hw_generator_get_frequency_max() to get the frequency limits.

The frequency setting can either set the signal frequency or the sample rate of the generator, depending on the selected Frequency mode.

When signal type DC is active, frequency is not available. Use tiepie_hw_generator_has_frequency() to check whether frequency is available for the currently set signal type.

By default the frequency mode is set to signal frequency (TIEPIE_HW_FM_SIGNALFREQUENCY) and the frequency is set to 1 k_hz.

◆ tiepie_hw_generator_get_frequency()

TIEPIE_HW_API double tiepie_hw_generator_get_frequency ( tiepie_hw_handle  handle)

Get the current signal/sample frequency, of a specified generator.

Parameters
[in]handleA device handle identifying the generator.
Returns
The currently set signal/sample frequency, in Hz.
Status values
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED The generator does not support frequency for the current signal type.
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE The handle is not a valid generator handle.

◆ tiepie_hw_generator_set_frequency()

TIEPIE_HW_API double tiepie_hw_generator_set_frequency ( tiepie_hw_handle  handle,
double  value 
)

Set signal/sample frequency, of a specified generator.

Parameters
[in]handleA device handle identifying the generator.
[in]valueThe requested signal/sample frequency, in Hz.
Returns
The actually set signal/sample frequency, in Hz.
Remarks
When the generator is active, changing the signal/sample frequency will shortly interrupt the output signal.
When signal type DC is active, setting signal/sample frequency is not available.
Changing the frequency may affect the pulse width and/or leading and trailing edge time value(s) when signal type pulse is active.
Status values
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_VALUE_CLIPPED The requested frequency is outside the valid range and clipped to the closest limit.
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_VALUE_MODIFIED The requested frequency is within the valid range but not available. The closest valid value is set.
TIEPIE_HW_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED The generator does not support frequency 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
