  1. Hi @diligent1

    You could use custom waveform, like [1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,...] set the frequency to 1kHz/steps which will generate [Amplitude+Offset for 1ms, O for 2ms, A+O for 1ms, O for 3ms...]
    Or if you want finer delay between pulses [1,1,0,0,0,1,1,....] freq to 2kHz/steps [A+O 1ms, O 1.5ms,...] make sure the number of steps does not exceed the AWG device buffer size, 16k with first and 32k with 3rd configuration. Use funcCustomPattern for fixed sample period, funcCustom is for more precise waveform frequency.

  2. Hi @Denspa

    In AD2 hot swap controller fet+diode was used which had no backpowering. Here the USB was stopped based on AUX voltage reading.
    In AD3 e-fuse with integrated fet is used which has a slight backpower before it turns off. So the decision can't rely on voltage before this ic. I'll try to reduce the current threshold to eliminate the problem you noticed.

  3. Hi @Denspa

    I see it now. The AUX voltage and current is lower than the USB. Due to this the USB supply is not stopped.

    Initially both USB and AUX are supplies are enabled. To validate the AUX supply the voltage on this needs to be between 4.5-5.5V and I also set a 154mA 'firmware' threshold to validate this supply. This, to make sure the AUX supply is really present, the voltage reading on AUX it not just a back powering. Which can only occur only if the 'USB Supply' option is set to 'Always on' and the AUX supply is removed.
    In you case the AUX voltage/current is lower probably because this has higher resistance than the USB supply. If you have, you could try to use a different switching supply.
    I'll try to lower this 154mA limit to see if it causes any problems.

    The WaveForms application can control two identical devices at a time or one + PS3340.
    More devices can be controlled from custom app, like 1 master reference clock and trigger output, and others slaves.
    See WF SDK/ sample/ py/ Device_Synchronization.py DigitalOut_Devices.py

  5. Hi @mjc43

    Sorry... I should have read your question more carefully

    1. Which WaveForms version are you using ?
    It seems that you are using an old version. You can find the latest here:
    https://digilent.com/reference/software/waveforms/waveforms-3/start
    https://forum.digilent.com/topic/8908-waveforms-beta-download/
     

    2. Make sure USB under Filter is checked, press Auto Refresh or Manual.

    3. Make sure the driver filter is not installed, which was required for old OSX
    Delete: Library/ Extensions/ DigilentFtdiDriver.kext and Reboot

    4. Try programming it with Vendord:Digilent
