Class Description


Class to interface ADLink digital and analog boards through the ASL library.

This device interfaces the SAI daq boards (2005;2010;2204;2205). The main functions are : - the daq board inititialization - the daq board configuration - the acquisition on N channels

NOTE : - Start device one time to generate its default properties. - Allowed delimiters list : tabulation, comma, dot, semicolon, pipe and colon. - WARN : Use space character only for dynamic attribute description !!! - FATAL : all characters must be in upper case !!

Output: DevString
This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
StartInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid
Command to start the acquisition.

Output: DevVoid
Command to stop the acquisition.
AbortInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid
Command to abort the acquisition. Note that data may be lost .

Properties:

Name Description
AutoStartAcquisitionDevBoolean TRUE : the acquisition starts when the device is up and ready.
BoardNumDevShort ADLink ADC board identifier in the CPCI crate.
BoardTypeType ADLink ADC board type as this : ``Manufacturer`` : ``Familly`` : ``ID`` Examples : Adlink : SAI : 2005 Adlink : MAI : 2205
ChannelsConfigString[]Type Dynamic attribute configuration as follow (with no quotes) : ``LABEL`` ``CHANNEL NUMBER`` ``INPUT RANGE`` ``GROUND_REF`` [ATTR DESCRIPTION] Note : [] means optionnal
OverrunStrategyType The overrun strategy (the strategy adopted in case of data lost). The possible values are NOTIFY, ABORT, TRASH, RESTART, IGNORE.
SamplingSourceType Set the AI conversion signal source (i.e. DAC sampling source). Use one of the following: INTERNAL or EXTERNAL
ScaledDataDevBoolean Sets to true, all attributes data are scaled (in type DevDouble) else the attributes type is DevUShort.
TimeoutDevLong Value out of which an exception is sent to inform the user that no acquired data is coming (in milliseconds).
TriggerConfigurationType Trigger configuration parameters as follow (with no quotes) : ``TYPE`` ``MODE`` ``EDGE`` ``SOURCE`` ``DELAY`` ``POST_TRIG_SAMPLES`` Possible values for each parameter : Type : NONE, ATRIG or DTRIG Mode : POST, PRE or MIDDLE Edge : RISING or FALLING Source : [Channel_ID] [CONDITION] [LOW_LEVEL_COND_IN_VOLTS] [HIGH_LEVEL_COND_IN_VOLTS] Delay : [UNIT] [VALUE] Post_trig_Samples : [UNIT] [VALUE] NOTES : 1) ``SOURCE`` : only available for ATRIG type. Value can be EXT or a channel number from 0 to 3. CONDITION can be BELOW_LOW_LEVEL, ABOVE_HIGH_LEVEL, INSIDE_REGION, HIGH_HYSTERESIS. 2) ``DELAY`` : UNIT can be CLOCK_TICKS or SAMPLES. It indicates the number of samples or nanoseconds will be ignored after a specific trigger event. 3) ``POST_TRIG_SAMPLES`` : only if selected Mode is MIDDLE. It indicates the number of samples will be accessed after a specific trigger event. Examples : TYPE : ATRIG MODE : MIDDLE EDGE : RISING SOURCE : 0:BELOW:-2.5 (or 1:HIGH_HYSTERESIS:-2.5:+2.5) DELAY : SAMPLES:100 POST_TRIG_SAMPLES : 1000
NexusNbAcqPerFileDevLong Indicates the number of acquisition pushed in a single Nexus file. Default set to 10.
NexusDataToPushDevString Attributes name list to push in Nexus file. Expected value : ``RAW``, ``SCALED`` or ``AVERAGE``. Default is empty. NOTE : - Expected value is case sensitive !!!
DO_NOT_MODIFY_DefaultDriverMemorySizeDevLong The fixed max samples number the driver can hold ! WARNING : DO NOT MODIFY THIS PROPERTY , THE DEVICE CAN CRASH !!!
ConcatenateDaqBuffersDevBoolean Only available in Trigger mode when a triggerNumber is specified. Allows ADLINK driver to concatenate triggerNumber buffers in one buffer.
