HPE6432_SetSyncOutState
ViStatus HPE6432_SetSyncOutState (ViSession
instrumentHandle, ViBoolean syncOutEnable);
Purpose
This function is a non-list function and is used to enable/disable the
Sync Out trigger.
This function does not apply to list-mode functions; it is referred to as a
non-list function. A non-list function is used during set-spot mode and
is specifically for use with the following functions:
• Set Freq, ALC, Atten
• Set Frequency
• Set ALC, Atten
• Set Output Power
The following functions override the Set Sync Out (On/Off) function's
setting with the featureBits parameter:
• Set Freq, Alc, Atten, Bit
• Write List Point
• Write List Points
When Sync Out trigger is enabled and the synthesizer has settled (from
changing frequency or power or both), a Sync Out trigger is generated.
The Sync Out trigger can be viewed at the Sync Out connector on the
hardware front panel or over the VXI backplane or both.
Factory Preset Value: Disabled
There are two other functions that control the Sync Out trigger. These
other functions direct the Sync Out trigger in both set-spot mode or
list-mode:
• Set Sync Out - Front Panel
• Set Sync Out - VXI Backplane
These functions control whether the Sync Out trigger is sent to the
hardware front panel or one of the eight-shared VXI backplane TTL
triggers (TTLTRG0-TTLTRG7) or both.
