Tektronix Keithley 4200A-SCS User Manual

Section 7: Using a Keysight 8110A/8111A Pulse Generator Model 4200A-SCS Prober and External Instrument Control
7-6 4200A-913-01 Rev. A December 2020
Details
The user module used by the pgu1-init UTM.
The PguInit8110 user module initializes the Keysight 8110A pulse generator as follows:
• Disables the output of the specified channel.
• Resets (*RST) to ensure that all errors are cleared.
• Sets the output polarity to NORMAL.
• Sets the trigger count to 1.
• Sets the trigger source to MANUAL.
• Enables SINGLE PULSE mode.
• Allows the rise/fall to be independently programmable.
• Sets the pulse height to 0.2 V and base to 0 V.
• Sets the rise/fall to 100e-9 s.
• Sets the width to 300e-9 s.
• Disables error checking.

None
PguSetup8110 user module
This user module defines the output pulse of the pulse generator (PGU).
Usage
status = PguSetup8110(char *instr_id, double DelayTime, double RiseTime, double
FallTime, double Width, double Period, double BaseValue, double Amplitude, double
OutImpedance, double LoadImpedance, double OutpEnable);
status
Returned values are placed in the Analyze sheet:
▪ 0: OK
▪ -10000 (INVAL_INST_ID): The specified instrument ID does not exist
▪ -10040 (HP8110_NOT_IN_KCON): No PGU was found in the system
configuration
▪ -10041 (HP8110_NOT_INITED): The PGU was never initialized
▪ -10042 (HP8110_PULSE_ERROR): There was an error during pulsing
▪ -10090 (GPIB_ERROR_OCCURRED): A GPIB communications error
occurred
▪ -10091 (GPIB_TIMEOUT): A time-out occurred during communications
▪ -10100 (INVAL_PARAM): An invalid input parameter is specified
instr_id
The PGU instrument ID: PGUX, where X is a number from 1 through 8 (configuration
dependent); the PGU instrument ID effectively corresponds to a single pulse
generator channel
