Comments

Each Timing Set memory index is compos of four pairs of timing sets signals for a total of 16 as follows:

Timing Set Index number
TSet 0: First pair of Phase and Window in the specified Timing Set Memory Index
Phase Assert 0
Phase Return 0
Window Open 0
WindowClose 0
TSet 1: Second pair of Phase and Window in the specified Timing Set Memory Index
Phase Assert 1
Phase Return 1
Window Open 1
WindowClose 1
TSet 2: Third pair of Phase and Window in the specified Timing Set Memory Index
Phase Assert 2
Phase Return 2
Window Open 2
WindowClose 2
TSet 3: Fourth pair of Phase and Window in the specified Timing Set Memory Index
Phase Assert 3
Phase Return 3
Window Open 3
WindowClose 3

GX5961, GX5964:

The phase and window signals are programmed in master clock edges (rising and falling), i.e., 1/2 the master clock period.  For example, if the master clock is set to 500 MHz, then a setting of 5 would be: 5 * (1/2 (2ns)) = 5ns.

With a master clock of 100 MHz it would be: 5 * (1/2 (10ns)) = 25ns.

GX5296:

The phase and window values are combination of the system clock period and number of the step’s Clock Per Vector (see GtDio6xStepSetClock API). The system clock generates 8 phases and 8 windows by dividing equally the period to 8, giving us a resolution of 1/8 of the system clock period.

Step’s Clock Per Vector = 1:

The user can set each phase and window value to any of the 8 values, while keeping the basic rule that Phase Asset > = Phase Return, and Window Open >= Window Close.

E.g.; If the Clock Per Vector  =1, and the  system clock period = 100nSec (10MHz clock period), then the available Phase and Window values are: as follows:

12.5 nSec , 25.0 nSec, 37.5 nSec, 50.0 nSec, 62.5 nSec, 75.0 nSec, 87.5 nSec

Step’s Clock Per Vector > 1:

If the Step’s Clock Per Vector  is bigger then 1, then the user can set each phase and window value to any value within the range of 0 to  Step’s Clock Per Vector * system clock period, with the resolution of the system clock period divided by 8, while keeping the basic rule that Phase Asset > = Phase Return, and Window Open >= Window Close.

E.g.; If the Clock Per Vector  =2, and the  system clock period = 100nSec (10MHz clock period), then the available Phase and Window values are: as follows:

12.5 nSec , 25.0 nSec, 37.5 nSec, 50.0 nSec, 62.5 nSec, 75.0 nSec, 87.5 nSec, 100 nSec, 112.5 nSec, 125 nSec, 137.5 nSec, 150 nSec, 162.5 nSec, 175 nSec, 187.5 nSec.

Note: the function rounds the timing set values to the nears valid value as defined by the system clock period.

Example

The following example writes to the Timing Set memory offset 2 and index subset 1 with a phase assert of 0, phase return of 500, window open of 200, and window close of 300:

 

DOUBLE dPhaseAssert, dPhaseReturn, dWindowOpen, dWindowClose;

SHORT nStatus;

 

GtDio6xTimingSetMemoryWriteData (nHandle, 2, GTDIO6X_TIMING_SET_PHASE_WINDOW_1, 0, 500, 200, 300, &nStatus);

GtDio6xTimingSetMemoryReadData (nHandle, 2, GTDIO6X_TIMING_SET_PHASE_WINDOW_1, &dPhaseAssert, &dPhaseReturn, &dWindowOpen, &dWindowClose, &nStatus);
