Example program

The following example shows how to set up the board for Gated Sampling in standard mode. The setup would be similar in FIFO mode, but the memsize register would not be used.

SpcSetParam (hDrv, SPC_GATE,

1);

// Enables

Gated

Sampling

to 4096

samples

SpcSetParam

(hDrv,

SPC_MEMSIZE,

4096);

// Set the

total

memsize for recording

SpcSetParam

(hDrv,

SPC_TRIGGERMODE,

TM_TTLPOS);

//

Sets the gate

condition to external

TTL mode, so that

 

 

 

 

//

recording will be done, if the signal is at

HIGH level
