GBS Elektronik MCA-166 Communication DLL - Manual (Page 15)

Description of the MCA Communication DLL
Name MMCA_SET_SHAPING_TIME_PAIR
Description The function sets the values for the low and high shaping time of the MCA527. Afterwards, the shaping
time is selected with MMCA_SET_SHAPING_TIME_LOW or MMCS_SET_SHAPING_TIME_HIGH.
This practice seems to be circumstantial, but it considered the compatibility to the MCA166.
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_SET_SHAPING_TIME_PAIR(unsigned short unLow,
unsigned short unHigh);
unLow
Low shaping time: 1 … 254 (low shaping time < high shaping time)
unHigh
High shaping time: 2 … 255 (low shaping time < high shaping time)
Return value See MCA_COMM function
Remarks This function is only usable for MCA527.
Name MMCA_SET_TRIGGER_FILTER
Description The function sets the trigger filters used for low and high shaping time.
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_SET_TRIGGER_FILTER(unsigned short unTriggerFilterLow,
unsigned short unTriggerFilterHigh);
unTriggerFilterLow
Trigger filter for low shaping time: 0 = (-1; +1), 1 = (-1; 0; +1), 2 = (+1; -2; +1), 3 = (+1; 0; -2; 0; +1)
unTriggerFilterHigh
Trigger filter for high shaping time: 0 = (-1; +1), 1 = (-1; 0; +1), 2 = (+1; -2; +1), 3 = (+1; 0; -2; 0; +1)
Return value See MCA_COMM function
Remarks This function is only usable for MCA527.
Name MMCA_SET_TRIGGER_PARAM
Description The function sets the trigger parameters..
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_SET_TRIGGER_PARAM(unsigned short unParam,unsigned long ulValue);
unParam
Parameter to be set
0 = Trigger level for automatic threshold calculation
1 = Trigger level for automatic threshold calculation for direct input
2 = Set trigger threshold
ulValue
New value
Return value See MCA_COMM function
Remarks This function is only usable for MCA527.
Name MMCA_SET_EVAL_FILTER_TYPE
Description The function sets the evaluation filter type.
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_SET_EVAL_FILTER_TYPE(unsigned short unFilterType);
unFilterType
Evaluation filter type: 0 = standard filter, 1 = LF filter
Return value See MCA_COMM function
Remarks This function is only usable for MCA527.
