Macro reference

Control_Pulse

Fc9-comp-macro.png Control_Pulse
Controls if the toggle input is enabled or disabled allowing you to stop and start the waveform. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE State
0=Disabled, 1=Enabled 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Get_Pulse_Count

Fc9-comp-macro.png Get_Pulse_Count
Reads the number of pulses remaining in the current run. The Pulse Count property needs to have an initial value > 0 to switch on the pulse counting mode. 
Fc9-u32-icon.png - ULONG Return


Set_Frequency

Fc9-comp-macro.png Set_Frequency
Allows the frequency to be changed on the fly 
Fc9-f32-icon.png - FLOAT Frequency
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Set_Mark

Fc9-comp-macro.png Set_Mark
Overrides the component property setting allowing for a variable frequency input or adjustable Mark timings. 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT Delay
Delay between transitiions in milliseconds. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Set_Pulse_Count

Fc9-comp-macro.png Set_Pulse_Count
Overrides the number of pulses. The Pulse Count property needs to have an initial value > 0 to switch on the pulse counting mode. 
Fc9-u32-icon.png - ULONG PulseCount
Number of pulses to output 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Set_Space

Fc9-comp-macro.png Set_Space
Overrides the component property setting allowing for a variable frequency input or adjustable Space timings. 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT Delay
Delay between transitiions in milliseconds. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-type-5-icon.png Pin
Pin to toggle - connected to the external waveform on the target hardware. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Startup Mode
Controls if the pulses start when the simulation is started or when the simulation Control_Pulse macro is called. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Mode
 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Frequency (Hz)
Frequency to try and acheive. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Period Delay (ms)
Delay in milliseconds for a whole period of 0 and 1. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Mark Delay (ms)
Delay in milliseconds to wait to toggle the pin. Note that Windows can only acheive timings of 10ms or more. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Space Delay (ms)
 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Pulse Count
Number of pulses to output. 0 = Run forever. > 0 = Output the selected number of pulses
