vtex1629_set_trigger_timer
FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
ViStatus vtex1629_set_trigger_timer (ViSession vi, ViReal64 timer);
FUNCTION PARAMETERS
vi = contains a session handle to the instrument. This handle is obtained by the function and remains valid until the
session is closed.
timer = a real input value indicating the time, in seconds, to which to set the trigger system timer. Valid input
values: 0 s to 4294.967295 s.
DATA ITEM RESET VALUE
timer = 0
DESCRIPTION
This function sets the trigger timer period for the EX1629. This is the amount of time, in seconds, that the EX1629
will wait before generating successive timer events, which can be used as an arm source or a trigger source, but not
both.
The timer is specified as the arm or trigger source using the “pattern” source mechanism (see
vtex1629_set_arm_source, vtex1629_set_pattern_arm_configuration, vtex1629_set_trigger_source, and
vtex1629_set_pattern_trig_configuration).
EXAMPLE
ViSession instrumentHandle;
ViStatus status;
…
status = vtex1629_set_trigger_timer(instrumentHandle, 1.0);
