Configuration and Status Panel -
The Configuration and Status Panel is accessed by the 3rd tab. In this panel you can check on the internal status of the AWG module, configure the module as a master or slave for multi board operation, and set the number of memory address pages.
Internal States
Module Status
Displays the current status of the AWG board. The status is not automatically refreshed. In order to see the most current status of
the module, you must poll its status
by clicking on the Update Status button.
Auto Armed - displays if board has Auto Armed enabled. When Auto Armed is enabled, the board automatically enters
the "Armed" state after the "Loop Done" state. For more information about the internal states please see the
Internal States page.
Armed - displays if board is in the "Armed" state.
Triggered - displays if board is in the "Triggered" state.
In Loop - displays if board is in the "In Loop" state.
Slave - displays if board is in Slave mode. When this option is not indicated, the board is in either Master mode or Free-running mode.
Slave Wait - displays if module is in the "Slave Wait" state, which is equivalent to the "Armed" state of the Master
or Free-running modes. In the "Armed" state of the Master or Free-running modes, the board waits for the TRIG signal to begin waveform output, while in the "Slave Wait" state of the Slave, the board waits for the SYNCI signal to begin waveform output.
Configuration
Master
When enabled, puts board into Master mode.
Slave
When enabled, puts board into Slave mode.
Endless Loop
Enables continuous waveform output. Has same function as the Infinite checkbox next to the Loop Count option in the Module Parameter panel.
Loop Count
Has same function as the Loop Count option in the Module Parameter panel.
SYNCO
Has same function as the SYNCO option in the Module Parameter panel.
Paging
Sets the number of memory address pages allowed. Please ensure that the number selected here does not exceed the number of pages set in the hardware.
