6.5 Apply setup
The MD3 driver implements the following consistent behavior:
No configuration change is applied
immediately to the ADC module hardware.
Specifically, this means that setting any
property/attribute only changes the 'setup' in the driver, and an explicit call to
ApplySetup
is required
to implement the change in the module hardware.
There are some exceptions for
'actions'
: being methods/functions that perform an action which e.g.
modifies also the ADC module's state.
The following methods WILL perform an implicit
ApplySetup
before the actual action.
Actions with implicit ApplySetup
Method name
Description
SelfTest
To insure the module is actually in the desired state before doing the self test.
SelfCalibrate
To insure the module is actually in the desired state before self-calibrating.
Initiate
To apply the configured setup to the module hardware before starting the measurement.
Read
All Read methods start by performing an Initiate followed by Wait and then Fetch.
Reset
Places the module in a known state and configures module options on which the IVI specific
driver depends.
ResetWithDefaults
Does the equivalent of Reset and then, (1) disables class extension capability groups, (2)
sets attributes to initial values defined by class specs, and (3) configures the driver to option
string settings used when Initialize was last executed.
