HPE6432_SetExtTriggerOutput
ViStatus HPE6432_SetExtTriggerOutput (ViSession
instrumentHandle, ViUInt16 trigOutFrontPanel);
Purpose
This function controls the Trig Out trigger on the hardware front panel
of the synthesizer.
The Trig Out trigger is an output trigger and is produced after each
new hardware frequency or power level setting has settled; the value of
the dwell time controls how long the trigger outputs (Sync Out and Trig
Out) are asserted.
The Trig Out trigger can be directed to the Trig Out connector on the
hardware front panel or one of the eight-shared VXI backplane TTL
triggers (TTLTRG0-TTLTRG7) or both at the same time. This output
trigger can also be enabled when changing frequency or power or both
in set-spot mode or list mode.
Allowable values:
Factory Preset Value: FRONT_OUT_OFF

Variable Type ViUInt16
This parameter specifies whether the Trig Out trigger is off or has a
positive or negative polarity.
FRONT_OUT_OFF = 0 No Trig Out trigger is output to the hardware front
panel of the synthesizer.
FRONT_OUT_POS = 16 The Trig Out trigger is generated with a positive
polarity.
FRONT_OUT_NEG = 48 The Trig Out trigger is generated with a negative
polarity.
