Parameter Lists

This section shows which parameters are global parameters, which are channel-specific and what types of channels the channel-specific parameters apply to. Default values are shown for all of these parameters. In addition, each parameter is categorized as “abort”, “wait”, “immediate” or “glitch” depending on the behavior when this parameter is changed during a running measurement. Those with “abort” cause the measurement to abort. Those with “wait” don’t take effect until the start of the next measurement. Those with “immediate” take effect immediately. Those with “glitch” take effect immediately and may cause glitches in the data that is read back or on the source output if the parameter is applied to a source channel.
