API Functions | Signal Hound
Retrieve the last set TG output parameters the user set through the saSetTg function. The setTg function
must have been called for this function to return valid values. If the TG was used to perform scalar
network analysis at any point, this function will not return valid values until the setTg function is called
again.
If a previously set parameter was clamped in the setTg function, this function will return the final
clamped value.
If any pointer parameter is null, that value is ignored and not returned.
Return Values
