Control_Pulse
Controls if the toggle input is enabled or disabled allowing you to stop and start the waveform.
Parameters
- BYTE State
- 0=Disabled, 1=Enabled
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Get_Pulse_Count
Reads the number of pulses remaining in the current run.
The Pulse Count property needs to have an initial value > 0 to switch on the pulse counting mode.
Parameters
- This macro has no parameters
Return value
Set_Pulse_Count
Overrides the number of pulses.
The Pulse Count property needs to have an initial value > 0 to switch on the pulse counting mode.
Parameters
- ULONG PulseCount
- Number of pulses to output
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Set_Space
Overrides the component property setting allowing for a variable frequency input
or adjustable Space timings.
Parameters
- UINT Delay
- Delay between transitiions in milliseconds.
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Set_Mark
Overrides the component property setting allowing for a variable frequency input
or adjustable Mark timings.
Parameters
- UINT Delay
- Delay between transitiions in milliseconds.
Return value
- This call does not return a value
Property reference
Pin
This property is of type Single digital pin and can be referenced with the variable name Pin.
Pin to toggle - connected to the external waveform on the target hardware.
Startup Mode
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name StartupMode.
Controls if the pulses start when the simulation is started or when the simulation Control_Pulse macro is called.
Mode
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name Mode.
No additional information
Frequency (Hz)
This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name Frequency.
Frequency to try and acheive.
Period Delay (ms)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name Period.
Delay in milliseconds for a whole period of 0 and 1.
Mark Delay (ms)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name DelayMark.
Delay in milliseconds to wait to toggle the pin.
Note that Windows can only acheive timings of 10ms or more.
Space Delay (ms)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name DelaySpace.
No additional information
Pulse Count
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name PulseCount.
Number of pulses to output.
0 = Run forever.
> 0 = Output the selected number of pulses
