Mezurit 2 - Trigger functions

Online documentation - Trigger functions

Many trigger functions are similar to terminal functions and vice versa. Equivalent or related terminal functions are noted where appropriate. Trigger functions by definition return True on success, False on failure. In this context, however, success simply means that the command was successfully received with no argument errors, not that the action itself succeeded.

Note: Trigger functions are not the same as trigger tests, which are constructed from a subset of the channel functions.

General functions

wait (delta_t)

delta_t

float

Time in seconds to pause before continuing to the next trigger line

see also: xleep()

set_recording (on)

on

bool

True to start, False to stop recording data

see also: set_recording()

DAC control functions

set_dac (channel, target)

channel	int	Index of virtual channel to set (e.g. 2 for X₂), must be invertible
target	float	Target value in scaled units (e.g. mV)

see also: set_dac()

sweep_up (channel)
sweep_down (channel)
sweep_stop (channel)

channel

int

Index of virtual channel to start or stop sweeping

see also: sweep_up(), sweep_down(), sweep_stop()

Scope functions

request_pulse (channel, target)

channel	int	Index of virtual channel to pulse when (and if) scope fires, must be invertible
target	float	Target value in scaled units (e.g. mV)

see also: request_pulse()

cancel_pulse (channel)

channel

int

Index of virtual channel which should not be pulsed

see also: cancel_pulse()

fire_scope ()
cancel_scope ()

see also: fire_scope(), cancel_scope()

fire_scope_pulse (channel, target)

channel	int	Virtual channel to pulse, must be invertible
target	float	Target value in scaled units (e.g. mV)

see also: fire_scope_pulse()

Trigger functions

arm_trigger (id)
disarm_trigger (id)

id

int

Index of trigger to arm or disarm, range: 0 ... 7

see also: arm_trigger(), disarm_trigger()

force_trigger (id)
cancel_trigger (id)

id

int

Index of trigger to start (force) or stop, range: 0 ... 7

see also: force_trigger(), cancel_trigger()

emit_signal (signal)

signal

str

Text signal to emit (an arbitrary string)

see also: catch_signal()

Buffer functions

t_zero ()

effect: Reset the current panel timer
see also: t_zero()

save_data (filename)

filename

str

Relative or absolute filename to which to save data (if already existing, data will be appended)

see also: save_data()
