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:

• device – device

• fast – [optional, defaults to TP_FAST_NONE] One of TestPulseFastModes.

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
