2.3.43 AcqrsD1_configMemoryEx
Purpose
Extended configuration of the memory control parameters of the digitizer including 10-bit-FAMILY &
U1071A-FAMILY SAR mode.
Parameters
Input
Name Type Description
instrumentID ViSession Instrument identifier
nbrSamplesHi ViUInt32 Must be set to 0 (reserved for future use)
nbrSamplesLo ViUInt32 Nominal number of samples to record (per segment!)
nbrSegments ViInt32 Number of segments to acquire. 1 corresponds to the
normal single-trace acquisition mode.
nbrBanks ViInt32 Number of banks to be used for SAR mode
flags ViInt32 = 0 default memory use
= 1 force use of internal memory (for 10-bit-FAMILY
& U1071A-FAMILY digitizers with extended
memory options only).
Return Value
Name Type Description
status ViStatus Refer to Table 2-1 for error codes.
Discussion
This routine is needed to access the new features of some of the digitizers (U1071A-FAMILY & 10-bit-
FAMILY).
The SAR mode should be activated by calling
AcqrsD1_configMode with the appropriate flags value. The
desired number of banks should be set here with the nbrBanks > 1. If the unit has external memory the flags
parameter will also have to be set to 1.
In an instrument equipped with external memory, flags = 1 will force the use of internal memory which give
a lower dead time between segments of a sequence acquisition.
