ADC Periodic Vector System Definition

This MotoHawk when combined with a number of ADC Periodic Vector Definition blocks could be used to capture a set of samples from a number of ADC channels. Data Store blocks (such as the Data Read) are used to retrieve the data in a Queue.

MotoHawk_lib/Analog I/O Blocks

Description

The ADC Periodic Vector blocks uses a module resource to generate a trigger signal for the ADC at the specified rate. The results of the vector are placed in the "Queue" data store. Each row is a sample and each column maps to a resource that is sampled. The ADC Periodic Vector Definition defines into which column an ADC resource is to be sampled.

Hardware may not support all Sampling Modes.

Block Parameters

Parameter Field	Values	Comments/Description
Name	'single-quote' enclosed alpha-numeric text	No special characters such as spaces, dashes, commas (underscore allowed). Select a unqiue name. This name shall be used by related blocks to reference this definition.
Resource	Drop-down list	Select a resource that will initiate the periodic samples.
Queue Name	'single-quote' enclosed alpha-numeric text	The name of the data store to store the samples. The data store must be a matrix of the data type uint16 where each column represents a single element and each row stores a sample.
Sample Mode	Drop-Down List	The sample mode specifies how the sample cycle is restarted. "Circular" means that the sampling continues until "Max Samples" is reached even if it starts over at the beginning of the queue. "Stop when Full" will terminate sampling when the queue is full.
