Adwin code for experminet control

Here all the ADwin code for the LEOLAB (Experimental Quantum Information) at TU Wien is stored. The Code is used for experiment control with the labscript-suite. The implementation of the ADwin device in labscript can be found in the other repository.

Output channels

The analog output channels for both AOUT-8 modules are combined in one array with size 16, where the module AOUT1 is set to the values with indices 1-8 and AOUT2 to those with indices 9-16. The same is done for the two analog input modules AIN1 and AIN2.

Variables for Communication with ADwin

The global variables in the ADwin can be used for data transfer with the computer. In the list, all used variables in the processes are described. The datatypes are Long for all Par_xx, Double for FPar_xx, and Arrays for Data_xx (usually with datatype Long).
