New API version 2.2 updates:

  • Most parser commands have been omitted from manual but they still function. All commands have been replaced with either methods or properties. If you used parser commands previously please look in the Methods and Properties section to see the new commands.
  • Two additional status bits have been added to the MSB. The two new status bits are "Data Length Enable" and "Infinite Loop". Please see the status property page for more information.
  • There is no need to send the "r2" command for Memory Depth. To set Memory Depth you only need to set the memory_depth property.
  • New phase reset by memory option added.
  • New waveform code "2" for reverse chirping.
  • New overloaded user_define_bulk method. Please see the method page for more information.
  • New examples in Examples section with more detailed code and utilizing an intermediate class to interact with the API methods and properties.


DSM A1

For users who have the DSM A1 board, there are some properties that are either unavailable to you or will require adjustments. The commands are detailed below:

  • All multi-board commands are unavailable.
  • The status command is unavailable.
  • The memory DLL command is unavailable.
  • The start and stop memory commands will behave a little bit differently.
  • The default oversampling rate should be set to "2" since the clock divider on the A1 board is different.
