Detailed Description

Represents a common DAC module.

Member Function Documentation

void SetDac	(	int	channel,
		double	voltage
	)

Set the value of the DAC. Takes calibration data into account.

Parameters

channel	The DAC channel number [0,39]
voltage	The voltage value to set (Volts).

Example usage (mates_test_03.cs):

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Viresco.Mates;

namespace unit_tests
{
   [TestClass]
   public class mates_test_03
   {
      [TestMethod]
      public void TestMethod()
      {
         using (Mates mates = new Mates("mates_REMOTE.mon", 1))
         {
            try
            {
               Dac5Node dac = mates.NewDac5Node(NodeId.mates_dac5_mk1_1);
               Adc5Node adc = mates.NewAdc5Node(NodeId.mates_adc5_mk1_1);
               // Assume there is loopback between DAC and ADC.
               dac.SetDac(5, 1.0);
               double check = adc.GetAdc(5);
               Assert.IsTrue(check >= 0.99 && check <= 1.01);
            }
            catch
            {
               Console.Write("Cannot discover node.\n");
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Implemented in DacNode.

void SetDacRaw	(	int	channel,
		int	val
	)

Set raw value of the DAC.

Parameters

channel	The DAC channel number [0,39].
val	The raw DAC binary code to write.

Example usage (mates_test_04.cs):

using System;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Viresco.Mates;

namespace unit_tests
{
   [TestClass]
   public class mates_test_04
   {
      [TestMethod]
      public void TestMethod()
      {
         using (Mates mates = new Mates("mates_REMOTE.mon", 1))
         {
            try
            {
               Dac5Node dac = mates.NewDac5Node(NodeId.mates_dac5_mk1_1);
               // Set the first channel to the half of the range.
               dac.SetDacRaw(0, 65536 / 2);
            }
            catch
            {
               Console.Write("Cannot discover node.\n");
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
