Functions listed alphabetically
FIBER_MODE_RAW and the age1439_data_port to fiber will result in the AGE1439_
STATUS_SETUP_ERROR bit being set. This is because the fiber interface cannot send both raw
and filtered ADC data at the same time.
Note Attempting to use the flow control while in AGE1439_FIBER_MODE_RAW fiber mode will
likely result in a TX_ERR_OVERRUN error. The transmit FIFO size is only1 Kbyte
AGE1439_FIBER_MODE_GENERATE causes filtered ADC data to be transmitted over the
fiber interface when one block is available in the FIFO. When flow control is enabled in this
mode, an external optical receiver can send stop and go commands that cause the module to pause
or resume data transmission. Received optical data other than data flow control signals are
ignored.
AGE1439_FIBER_MODE_APPEND copies data from the fiber optic receiver to the fiber optic
transmitter and appends its own filtered ADC data, when available.
fibermodePtr points to the current value of fiberMode.
flowControlMode configures fiber flow control. When flow control is on, an external optic receiver can pause or
resume the fiber data transmission by sending a stop or go command. Received optical data other
than flow control signals and PIO bits are ignored.
AGE1439_FLOW_CONTROL_NO_COPY responds to received flow control signals GO and
STOP, and transmits GO.
AGE1439_FLOW_CONTROL_COPY responds to received flow control signals GO and STOP,
and transmits the received flow control signal values.
AGE1439_FLOW_CONTROL_OFF disables fiber flow control.
flowControlModePtr points to the current value of flowControlMode.
transferRate sets both the transmitter and receiver raw data rates.
AGE1439_106MBS transfers data at the legacy data rate of 106 Mbytes per second. This is the
default setting.
AGE1439_250MBS transfers data at 250 Mbytes per second. This is fast enough to support
continuous transmission of data at the highest sample rates and bit depths.
transferRatePtr points to the current value of transferRate.
Return Value
AGE1439_SUCCESS indicates that a function was successful.
Values other than AGE1439_SUCCESS indicate an error condition or other important status
condition. To determine the error message, pass the return value to “age1439_error_message” on
page 102.
