Driver Functions
agb1500_setCmuAdjustMode
agb1500_setCmuAdjustMode
This function selects the phase compensation mode of the MFCMU. After this
function, the MFCMU is initialized.
Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb1500_setCmuAdjustMode(ViSession vi, ViInt32 channel,
ViInt32 mode);
Parameters vi Instrument handle returned from agb1500_init( ).
channel Slot number of the slot that installs the MFCMU to be used. See
Table 2-2. channel=-1 detects the slot automatically.
mode 0: Auto mode. The B1500 sets the compensation data
automatically.
1: Manual mode. Execute the agb1500_execCmuAdjust
function to perform the phase compensation and set the
compensation data.
agb1500_setCmuFreq
This function sets the frequency of the AC voltage forced by the MFCMU. The AC
voltage output will be triggered by the agb1500_forceCmuAcLevel.
Syntax ViStatus _VI_FUNC agb1500_setCmuFreq(ViSession vi, ViInt32 channel,
ViReal64 value);
Parameters vi Instrument handle returned from agb1500_init( ).
channel Slot number of the slot that installs the MFCMU to be used. See
Table 2-2. channel=-1 detects the slot automatically.
value Frequency (in Hz). Numeric expression.
1000 (1 kHz, initial setting) to 5000000 (5 MHz)
Setting resolution: 1 mHz (1 kHz to), 10 mHz (10 kHz to),
0.1 Hz (100 kHz to), or 1 Hz (1 MHz to 5 MHz).
agb1500_setCmuInteg
This function sets the number of averaging samples or the averaging time set to the
A/D converter of the MFCMU.
