Returns the specified step timeout mode settings
GtDio6xStepGetTimeoutMode (nHandle, lStep, pnMode, pnStatus)

nHandle |
SHORT |
Session identifier:● Board handle is used when communicating with the hardware. The Board handle session identifier is returned by calling GtDio6xInitialize or GtDio6xSetupInitialization. ● File handle is used when communicating with a file. The File handle session identifier is returned by calling GtDio6xFileOpen. |
lStep |
LONG |
Step Number to access 0-4095. |
pnMode |
PBOOL |
Returns the steps’ timeout mode as follows: 0. GTDIO6X_STEP_TIMEOUT_MODE_PER_STEP The sequence timeout resets at the beginning of each sequence step during a burst. 1. GTDIO6X_STEP_TIMEOUT_MODE_ACCUMULATE: The sequence timeout will not reset at the beginning of each sequence step during a burst. By enabling this flag, the sequence timeout will continue from its previous value (accumulate) during this step. |
pnStatus |
PSHORT |
Returned status: 0 on success, negative value on failure. |
This function specifies the timeout continue flag level for the specified sequence step. The sequence timeout resets at the beginning of each sequence step during a burst. By enabling this flag, the sequence timeout will continue from its previous value (accumulate) during this step.
The sequence timer restarts at the beginning of every sequence step. The restart can be disabled using the STO Continue flag in the GtDio6xStepSetOutputFlag function. If the state is enabled, a sequence timeout will set bit 7 (STO) in the sequence event register. The timeout is programmed in 10ns steps (may have an additional 10ns of error) with a range of 20ns to 42.949672970s.
The following example sets step 5 timeout mode to continue from its previous value (accumulate) during this step and returns the settings:
SHORT nStatus, nMode;
GtDio6xTimerSetStepTimeout (nHandle, 5, GTDIO6X_TIMER_STEP_TIMEOUT_MODE_ACCUMULATE, &nStatus);
GtDio6xTimerGetStepTimeout (nHandle, 5, &nMode, &nStatus);
