140 Programming the VT1422A for Data Acquisition and Control Chapter 4
TRIGGER:SOURCE TIMER (*RST default)
Set the channel-to-channel measurement pacing (channel settling time)
SAMPle:TIMer 4E-5 (*RST default)
specify data format
FORMAT ASC,7 (*RST default)
select FIFO mode
SENSE:DATA:FIFO:MODE BLOCK may read FIFO while running
Define algorithm
ALG:DEFINE 'ALG1','static float a,b,c, div, mult, sub;
if ( First_loop )
{
a = 1; b = 2; c = 3;
writecvt( a, 10 ); writefifo( b, 11 ); writefifo( c, 12 );
}
writecvt( a / div, 13 );
writecvt( b * mult, 14 );
writecvt( c - sub, 15 ); /* end of algorithm */'
Pre-set the algorithm coefficients
ALG:SCAL 'ALG1','div',5
ALG:SCAL 'ALG1','mult',5
ALG:SCAL 'ALG1','sub',0
ALG:UPDATE all alg vars updated at this time
initiate trigger system (start algorithm)
INITIATE
retrieve algorithm data from elements 10 through 15
