6.5 Apply setup
The MD3 driver implements the following consistent behavior: No configuration change is
applied immediately to the ADC card hardware. Specifically, this means that setting any
property/attribute only changes the 'setup' in the driver, and an explicit call to ApplySetup is
required to implement the change in the card hardware.
There are some exceptions for 'actions': being methods/functions that perform an action which e.g.
modifies also the ADC card's state.
The following methods WILL perform an implicit ApplySetup before the actual action.
Actions with implicit ApplySetup
Method name Description
SelfTest To insure the card is actually in the desired state before doing the self test.
SelfCalibrate To insure the card is actually in the desired state before self-calibrating.
Initiate To apply the configured setup to the card hardware before starting the measurement.
Read All Read methods start by performing an Initiate followed by Wait and then Fetch.
Reset
Places the card in a known state and configures card options on which the IVI specific
driver depends.
ResetWithDefaults
Does the equivalent of Reset and then, (1) disables class extension capability groups,
(2) sets attributes to initial values defined by class specs, and (3) configures the driver
to option string settings used when Initialize was last executed.
