code

Description

Specifies the type of waveform for built-in waveforms.

Syntax

Int32 code

Read

Gets the current waveform code.

Example

int wfCode;
wfCode = awg.code;

Write

Sets new waveform code.

Example

awg.code = 1;

Values

Code Alias Description
1 SINE Outputs a sine wave at the specified frequency
2 SIN_AB Outputs a sine wave at a frequency that is A/B * sampling clock rate
3 TWO_TONE Outputs two tones, one at frequency A/B * sampling clock rate and one at frequency C/D * sampling clock rate
5 SIN_AB_PHASED Outputs a sine wave at a frequency that is A/B * sampling clock rate with beginning phase control
21 CHIRP_PCH Phase Coherent Chirp
22 CHIRP_PCT Phase Continuous Chirp
31 RAMP Ramp
32 SINC Sinc
50 PULSE Pulse
101 CONSTANT Constant

Notes

Please refer to the AWG Manual for a detailed description of each waveform. The descriptions can be found on the "Waveform Styles" page under the "Waveforms Section".

Instead of the integer code, you can instead write to code using the alias with the following syntax: 

	awg.code = (unsigned) WAVEFORM_CODE::ALIAS;

where "ALIAS" is the alias name found in the table above. So if you wanted a Sine A/B waveform you would type in the following: 

	awg.code = (unsigned) WAVEFORM_CODE::SIN_AB;

Please see the waveform_parameter_xx property for a description of the parameters used for each waveform style.
