Btn55xxx_SetGateMode Function


MeasurementBuffer See Also



Each Buffer Entry is controlled by a "buffer gate" that defines the start and end of the entry time interval. The gate signal may be internally or externally generated in several different ways.

 ViSession Vi,
 ViInt32 GateMode
);

Parameters

Vi

The ViSession handle that you obtain from the IviDriver_init or IviDriver_InitWithOptions function. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.

collapse_allDefined Values For Parameter GateMode

Name

Description

BTN55XXX_VAL_MEAS_BUFF_GATE_BURST

Each buffer entry consists of a single pulse or burst. The start and end of the burst are automatically identified by comparing the measured input signal to a preset signal threshold. Gate qualifying and delay options are available to align the gate interval with desired portion of a burst.

BTN55XXX_VAL_MEAS_BUFF_GATE_MARKER

Each buffer entry is "between markers" interval for one triggered sweep. This mode is used with the power sensor operating in triggered pulse mode, and the sweep system and markers are used to define the start and end of each gate interval. The entire gate interval must fall within the limits of the visible trace, so trigger and timebase settings must be appropriate for the signal.

BTN55XXX_VAL_MEAS_BUFF_GATE_EXT_GATE

Each buffer entry consists of a single measurement interval gated by the logic state of the MIO input. Qualifying and delay options are available to align the gate interval with the MIO input.

BTN55XXX_VAL_MEAS_BUFF_GATE_PERIODIC

Buffer entries are self-timed intervals with user-defined period and duration. If period and duration are equal, there will be no gap between successive intervals.

BTN55XXX_VAL_MEAS_BUFF_GATE_EXT_TRIG

Each buffer entry is initiated by assertion of the MIO input and ends after a user-defined duration. Qualifying and delay options are available to align the gate start with the MIO input.
