Description of the MCA Communication DLL
Name
MMCA_SET_SHAPING_TIME_PAIR
Description
The function sets the values for the low and high shaping time of the MCA527. Afterwards, the shaping
time is selected with MMCA_SET_SHAPING_TIME_LOW or MMCS_SET_SHAPING_TIME_HIGH.
This practice seems to be circumstantial, but it considered the compatibility to the MCA166.
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_SET_SHAPING_TIME_PAIR(unsigned short unLow,
unsigned short unHigh);
unLow
Low shaping time: 1 … 254 (low shaping time < high shaping time)
unHigh
High shaping time: 2 … 255 (low shaping time < high shaping time)
Return value
See MCA_COMM function
Remarks
This function is only usable for MCA527.
Name
MMCA_SET_TRIGGER_FILTER
Description
The function sets the trigger filters used for low and high shaping time.
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_SET_TRIGGER_FILTER(unsigned short unTriggerFilterLow,
unsigned short unTriggerFilterHigh);
unTriggerFilterLow
Trigger filter for low shaping time:
0 = (-1; +1), 1 = (-1; 0; +1), 2 = (+1; -2; +1), 3 = (+1; 0; -2; 0; +1)
unTriggerFilterHigh
Trigger filter for high shaping time:
0 = (-1; +1), 1 = (-1; 0; +1), 2 = (+1; -2; +1), 3 = (+1; 0; -2; 0; +1)
