AlazarSetTriggerDelay
Set the time, in sample clocks, to wait after receiving a trigger event before capturing a
record for the trigger.
Syntax
C/C++
RETURN_CODE
AlazarSetTriggerDelay (
HANDLE BoardHandle,
U32 Value
);
VisualBasic
AlazarSetTriggerDelay (
ByVal BoardHandle As Integer,
ByVal Value As Long
) As Long
Parameters
BoardHandle
[in] Handle to board.
Value
[in] Trigger delay in sample clocks.
Return value
The function returns ApiSuccess (512) if it was able to retrieve the value of the specified
parameter.
Otherwise, the function returns an error code that indicates the reason that it failed. See
Table 1 for a list of error codes.
Remarks
To convert the trigger delay from seconds to sample clocks, multiple the sample rate in
samples per second by the trigger delay in seconds. For example, if the sample rate is 50
MS/s and the desired trigger delay is 1 ms, then the trigger delay in sample clocks is 50e6
samples per second x 1e-3 seconds = 50000 samples.
The trigger delay value may be 0 to 9,999,999 samples.
The trigger delay value must be a multiple of 4 for the ATS850 and ATS860.
