TPM Multi device background test pulse functionality

Functions

variable TPM_StartTPMultiDeviceLow(string device, variable runModifier = defaultValue, variable fast = defaultValue)¶

Start the test pulse when MD support is activated.

Parameters:

device – device
runModifier – [optional] Or’ed into the run mode (e.g. TEST_PULSE_DURING_RA_MOD)
fast – [optional, defaults to TP_FAST_NONE] One of TestPulseFastModes, forwarded to TP_Setup.

variable TPM_StartTestPulseMultiDevice(string device, variable fast = defaultValue)¶

Start a multi device test pulse, always done in background mode.

Parameters:

variable TPM_StopTestPulseMultiDevice(string device, variable fast = defaultValue)¶

static variable TPM_IsDeviceActive(string device)¶: Return true if the device is registered in the TPMD background task.

static variable TPM_FindDevice(string device)¶

Return the row of the device in the list of active devices, or NaN if it is not registered.

Device IDs are only unique per hardware type, so both have to match.

Variables

static const double TPM_NI_TASKTIMEOUT = 0.5¶

After this time in s the background task reading data from the ADC device.

will not read multiple TP data sets subsequently to keep up if late

it will however still update once per device

so the gui thread can update at least every ~0.5 seconds (default value here)

however the fifo may run full if the timeout is hit too often
