SCANTrigAutoScan 

H/W access Command 

 Polled Command 

 

Description 

Set Scanner for Triggered Auto Scan operation. 

 
#include “SMX4032.H” 

 int 

SCANTrigAutoScan

(

int iScan, int iPoints)

 

Remarks

 

This is the externally triggered version of 

SCANAutoScan

 operation. Following 

acceptance of this command, the Scanner enters a wait state, whereby it waits for a 
trigger edge to start an Auto Scan operation. Trigger edge is whatever was previously 
selected using the 

SCANTriggerOutState

.  Being a polled operation, it requires 

SCANReady 

to return TRUE as indication of completion. Do not issue new command 

util 

SCANReady

 returns TRUE. An exception is the 

SCANAbort,

 which terminates this 

operation. Keep in mind that the last channel selected is left closed. See 

SCANAutoScan

 

for details. 

Parameter Type/Description 

iScan

 

int

   Identifies the Scanner being addressed. 

iPoints

 

int

   Indicates the number of points in the scan. 

Return Value

 

The return value is one of the following constants. 

Value Meaning 

SCAN_OKAY 

Function succeeded. 

Negative Value

 

Error code 

 
Example

 

SCANTriggerOutState(0,ENABLED, POSITIVE); //positive edge          
CANTrigAutoScan(0, 20); // set off 20 point scan.

Remarks

 

This function sets the scanner’s trigger input state and active edge. Default is 
DISABLED and POSITIVE. If 

iState

 is set to ENABLED, the trigger input line is 

enabled. If 

iEdge

 is set to POSITIVE, Positive Edge will activate operations. See 

definitions in ScanUser.H file. 

Parameter Type/Description
