API functions70

indexMode, specifies how the signal will be formed from the arbitrary waveform

data. SINGLE, DUAL and QUAD index modes are possible (see AWG index modes).

shots, the number of cycles of the waveform to be produced after a trigger event.

If this is set to a non-zero value [1, MAX_SWEEPS_SHOTS], then sweeps must be set

to zero.

sweeps, the number of times to sweep the frequency after a trigger event,

according to sweepType. If this is set to a non-zero value [1,

MAX_SWEEPS_SHOTS], then shots must be set to zero.

triggerType, the type of trigger that will be applied to the signal generator:

SIGGEN_RISING:

rising edge

SIGGEN_FALLING:

falling edge

SIGGEN_GATE_HIGH:

high level

SIGGEN_GATE_LOW:

low level

triggerSource, the source that will trigger the signal generator:

SIGGEN_NONE:

no trigger (free-running)

SIGGEN_SCOPE_TRIG:

the selected oscilloscope channel (see

ps4000aSetSimpleTrigger)

SIGGEN_SOFT_TRIG:

a software trigger (see

ps4000aSigGenSoftwareControl)

If a trigger source other than SIGGEN_NONE is specified, then either shots or

sweeps, but not both, must be set to a non-zero value.
