3.3. Functions which set the generation parameters
3.3.1. SetWaveform
Sets the shape of the waveform.
Public Shared Sub SetWaveform(ByRef Data As Int16, ByVal DataLength As
Integer, ByVal arbitrary As Integer)
Parameters:
data – pointer to the data
datalength – length of the data in samples
arbitrary – turns arbitrary length mode on/off. In case this mode is off, the
datalength must equal to 8192.
Return value: -
Remark: It is necessary to set frequency after setting the waveform (by using the
SetFrequency function).
3.3.2. SetLevel
Sets output level.
Public Shared Sub SetLevel(ByVal lvl As Double)
Parametre:
lvl – indicates the voltage between quantization levels 4095 and 2048 in volts
Return value: -
3.3.3. SetOutputAttenuation
Sets output attenuation to 1:1 or 1:10.
Public Shared Sub SetOutputAttenuation(ByVal attn As Integer)
Parameters:
attn – indicates attenuator:
OUTPUT_ATTENUATION_1 – 1:1
OUTPUT_ATTENUATION_10 – 1:10
Return value: -
3.3.4. SetOutputOnOff
Turns output on/off.
Public Shared Sub SetOutputOnOff(ByVal OnOff As Integer)
