Functions listed alphabetically
AGE1439_EXTERNAL uses transitions on the signal applied to the BNC external trigger
connector on the front panel.
AGE1439_EXTERNAL_ECL uses ECL level transitions on the signal applied to the BNC
external trigger connector on the front panel.
Note
AGE1439_EXTERNAL_ECL has the same constant value as the AGE1439_EXTERNAL
constant in the E1439C. AGE1439_EXTERNAL is retained for backward compatibility.
AGE1439_EXTERNAL_TTL uses TTL level transitions on the signal applied to the BNC
external trigger connector on the front panel.
Note
AGE1439_EXTERNAL_TTL is supported on all E1439B, C and D modules, but it is not
supported on early E1439A modules. A module with a serial number lower than US41140000
will result in the error
AGE1439_TTL_TRIGGER_NOT_SUPPORTED .
AGE1439_USER disables the module from any event-driven trigger generation though it is still
possible to force the module to trigger a measurement by pulling the Sync line once the module is
in the trigger state. You may do this by calling the
age1439_meas_start function, waiting for the
module to reach the trigger state, then triggering the measurement by using age1439_meas_
control to pull the Sync line.
AGE1439_IMMEDIATE triggers a measurement immediately upon entering the trigger state.
Note
In multi-module systems all modules should be use the same trigger type in order to have the
same actual delay.
trigTypePtr points to the current value of trigType .
Return Value
AGE1439_SUCCESS indicates that a function was successful.
Values other than AGE1439_SUCCESS indicate an error condition or other important status
condition. To determine the error message, pass the return value to “age1439_error_message” on
page 102 .
