gage_force_capture
Syntax
C:
void GAGEAPI gage_force_capture (int16 reset_trigger_source);
Visual BASIC:
Sub gage_force_capture (ByVal reset_trigger_source As Integer)
Remarks
gage_force_capture is used to force the capture of data by the CompuScope hardware. The routine is
primarily used when a trigger event has not occurred in an expected time period. gage_force_capture
send a electrical signal the CompuScope hardware so that it triggers as if a real trigger event had occurred.
The reset_trigger_source parameter specifies the trigger source that will be used for the next acquisition
after gage_force_capture. This is normally set to the initial trigger source used.
gage_force_capture should be used for single boards or for multiple boards in a Master/Slave
configuration. Multiple/Independent boards should use the routine gage_board_force_capture, since
gage_force_capture will force all boards in a Multiple/Independent system to trigger.
Return Value
None
