VXI VT1422A, VT1529A/B Example SCPI Command Sequence

Programming the VT1422A for Data Acquisition and Control 139Chapter 4
To enable ALG1 and ALG2 and disable ALG3 and ALG4:
ALG:STATE ’ALG1’,ON enable algorithm ALG1
ALG:STATE ’ALG2’,ON enable algorithm ALG2
ALG:STATE ’ALG3’,OFF disable algorithm ALG3
ALG:STATE ’ALG4’,OFF disable algorithm ALG4
ALG:UPDATE changes take effect at next
update phase
VXIplug&play Users: See the function hpe1422_cmd to send ALG:STATE.
Setting Algorithm
Execution
Frequency
The ALGorithm:SCAN:RATio ’<alg_name>’,<num_trigs> command sets
the number of trigger events that must occur before the next execution of
algorithm <alg_name>. To execute ’ALG3’ only every twenty triggers, an
ALG:SCAN:RATIO ’ALG3’,20 command can be sent followed by an
ALG:UPDATE command. ’ALG3’ would then execute on the first trigger
after INIT, then the 21st, then the 41st, etc. This can be useful to adjust the
response time of a control algorithm relative to others. The *RST default for
all algorithms is to execute on every trigger event.
Example SCPI Command Sequence
This example SCPI command sequence puts together all of the steps
discussed so far in this chapter.
