PguSetup8110 user module

This user module defines the output pulse of the pulse generator (PGU).
Usage

FallTime, double Width, double Period, double BaseValue, double Amplitude,
double OutImpedance, double LoadImpedance, double OutpEnable);

Returned values are placed in the Analyze sheet:
•
0: OK
•
-10000 (INVAL_INST_ID): The specified instrument ID does not exist
•
-10040 (HP8110_NOT_IN_KCON): No PGU was found in the system
configuration
•
-10041 (HP8110_NOT_INITED): The PGU was never initialized
•
-10042 (HP8110_PULSE_ERROR): There was an error during pulsing
•
-10090 (GPIB_ERROR_OCCURRED): A GPIB communications error
occurred
•
-10091 (GPIB_TIMEOUT): A time-out occurred during communications
•
-10100 (INVAL_PARAM): An invalid input parameter is specified
The PGU instrument ID: PGUX, where X is a number from 1 through 8 (configuration
dependent); the PGU instrument ID effectively corresponds to a single pulse
generator channel
The amount of time to delay after receiving the trigger (0 s to 0.999 s)
Sets the pulse rise time (2e-09 s to 0.2 s)
Sets the pulse fall time (2e-09 s to 0.2 s)
Sets the pulse width (3.3e-09 s to 0.999 s)
Sets the period to use if more than one pulse will be triggered; if a single pulse is
output (as opposed to a burst of pulses), this parameter is ignored; (6.65e-09 to
999; 6.65e-09 to 0.999 if there is no PLL option installed in the pulse generator)
The base value of the pulse (−20 V to +20 V); for a pulse with no DC offset,
set this parameter to 0
The amplitude of the pulse as measured from the base value (−20 V to +20 V)
Sets the output impedance of the PGU:
0: 50 Ω
•
1: 1000 Ω
•
The expected impedance of the load (DUT) (0 to 999 kΩ); if unsure, enter the
maximum value
A flag that determines whether to enable or disable the output relay of the PGU:
•
0: Disable the output
•
1: Enable the output
