WFM_Chan_Control
Format
status = WFM_Chan_Control (deviceNumber, chan, operation)
Purpose
Temporarily halts or restarts waveform generation for a single analog output channel.
Parameters
Input
Parameter Discussion
chan is the analog output channel to be paused or restarted.
Range: 0 or 1 for most devices.
0 through 5 for AT-AO-6.
0 through 9 for AT-AO-10.
operation selects the operation to be performed on the output channel.
operation = 2 (PAUSE): Temporarily halts waveform generation for the output
channel. The last voltage available on the analog output
channel is maintained indefinitely.
operation = 4 (RESUME): Restarts waveform generation for the output channel
previously halted by operation = PAUSE.
Using This Function
Note
This function does not support E Series devices.
When you have halted a waveform generation has been halted by executing PAUSE, the
RESUME operation restarts the waveform exactly at the point in your buffer where it left off.
