ADP3450 Script use of the waveform generator

[Albertu95]

Hello, I'm learning how to use the ADP3450. The main thing that is interesting for me is the control of the scope and the wave generator through script.

For now, I just wanted to control the waves out of the wave generator through code. I tried the example "Scope and Wavegen" in Waveforms following the provided guide in the site. 

I then used this example and the Help section  in Waveforms to try play with the different parameters. I tried hard to find better documentation of the various functions in the Help section without success. At the end I just did a long session of trial and error. 

The result is this code

clear()

if(!('Wavegen' in this) || !('Scope' in this)) throw "Please open a Scope and a Wavegen instrument";



Wavegen.Channel1.Mode.text = "Basic";

Wavegen.Channel1.Basic.Type.text = "sine";

Wavegen.Channel1.Basic.Phase = 0;

Wavegen.Channel1.Basic.Offset = 0;

Wavegen.Channel1.Basic.Frequency = 1000;

Wavegen.Channel1.Basic.Amplitude = 1;



Wavegen.Channel2.Mode.text = "Basic";

Wavegen.Channel2.Basic.Type.text = "sine";

Wavegen.Channel2.Basic.Phase = 0;

Wavegen.Channel2.Basic.Offset = 0;

Wavegen.Channel2.Basic.Frequency = 1000;

Wavegen.Channel2.Basic.Amplitude = 1;



Scope.Trigger.Trigger.text = "Repeated";





Wavegen1.run();

Wavegen.run();

Scope.run();

 

The only thing I achieved  is changing the shape of the wave form and the mode of use of the wave generator with the lines:
 

Wavegen.Channel1.Mode.text = "Basic";

Wavegen.Channel1.Basic.Type.text = "sine";

I'm not able to change any other parameter like offset, phase, frequency, amplitude. The only way to change this values is through graphic interface.  I don't get any error from Waveforms

How can I fix this code to let it work?
Is it possible to have an extensive manual on the functions? (for example, how to present the value of phase, if in radians or degrees. How to present the value of frequency and so on)

PS
I configured the device so that the wavegen channels 1 and 2 feed the oscilloscope channels 1 and 2 of the ADP3450 

 

I took the information to try the device from:

Hi @Albertu95

See the other examples, the Help tab, use Ctrl+Space, see the script references in the status-bar, other posts... like the one below
Use .text or .value to set/get a parameter.

Thank you!
