Functions listed alphabetically
and the age1439_data_port to fiber will result in the
bit being set. This is because the fiber interface cannot send both raw
and filtered ADC data at the same time.
Note
Attempting to use the flow control while in
fiber mode will
likely result in a
error. The transmit FIFO size is only1 Kbyte
causes filtered ADC data to be transmitted over the
fiber interface when one block is available in the FIFO. When flow control is enabled in this
mode, an external optical receiver can send stop and go commands that cause the module to pause
or resume data transmission. Received optical data other than data flow control signals are
ignored.
copies data from the fiber optic receiver to the fiber optic
transmitter and appends its own filtered ADC data, when available.
fibermodePtr
points to the current value of fiberMode.
flowControlMode
configures fiber flow control. When flow control is on, an external optic receiver can pause or
resume the fiber data transmission by sending a stop or go command. Received optical data other
than flow control signals and PIO bits are ignored.
responds to received flow control signals GO and
STOP, and transmits GO.
responds to received flow control signals GO and STOP,
and transmits the received flow control signal values.
disables fiber flow control.
f
lowControlModePtr
points to the current value of flowControlMode.
transferRate
sets both the transmitter and receiver raw data rates.
transfers data at the legacy data rate of 106 Mbytes per second. This is the
default setting.
transfers data at 250 Mbytes per second. This is fast enough to support
continuous transmission of data at the highest sample rates and bit depths.
transferRatePtr
points to the current value of transferRate.
Return Value
AGE1439_SUCCESS indicates that a function was successful.
Values other than AGE1439_SUCCESS indicate an error condition or other important status
condition. To determine the error message, pass the return value to
