◆ PwrSnsr_GetTrigDelay()

EXPORT int PwrSnsr_GetTrigDelay	(	SessionID	Vi,
		float *	Delay
	)

Return the trigger delay time in seconds with respect to the trigger for the trigger display location in the LEFT position.

Positive values cause the actual trigger to occur after the trigger condition is met. This places the trigger event to the left of the trigger point on the display, and is useful for viewing events during a pulse, some fixed delay time after the rising edge trigger. Negative trigger delay places the trigger event to the right of the trigger point on the display, and is useful for looking at events before the trigger edge.

Parameters

Vi	The SessionID handle that you obtain from the PwrSnsr_init function. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.
Delay

Returns: Success (0) or error code.

◆ PwrSnsr_GetTrigHoldoff()

EXPORT int PwrSnsr_GetTrigHoldoff	(	SessionID	Vi,
		float *	Holdoff
	)

Return the trigger holdoff time in seconds.

Trigger holdoff is used to disable the trigger for a specified amount of time after each trigger event. The holdoff time starts immediately after each valid trigger edge, and will not permit any new triggers until the time has expired. When the holdoff time is up, the trigger re-arms, and the next valid trigger event (edge) will cause a new sweep. This feature is used to help synchronize the power meter with burst waveforms such as a TDMA or GSM frame. The trigger holdoff resolution is 10 nanoseconds, and it should be set to a time that is just slightly shorter than the frame repetition interval.

Parameters

Vi	The SessionID handle that you obtain from the PwrSnsr_init function. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.
Holdoff

Returns: Success (0) or error code.

◆ PwrSnsr_GetTrigHoldoffMode()

EXPORT int PwrSnsr_GetTrigHoldoffMode	(	SessionID	Vi,
		PwrSnsrHoldoffModeEnum *	HoldoffMode
	)

Returns the holdoff mode to normal or gap holdoff.

EXPORT int PwrSnsr_GetTrigLevel	(	SessionID	Vi,
		float *	Level
	)

Return the trigger level for synchronizing data acquisition with a pulsed input signal.

The internal trigger level entered should include any global offset and will also be affected by the frequency cal factor. The available internal trigger level range is sensor dependent. The trigger level is set and returned in dBm. This setting is only valid for normal and auto trigger modes.

Parameters

Vi	The SessionID handle that you obtain from the PwrSnsr_init function. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.
Level	Trigger level in dBm.

Returns: Success (0) or error code.
