I am generating a pulse on same previous condition but the pulse generated is shaking continuously. Its levels are not clearly defined. I am using CyU3PGpioSetValue for pulse generation.

Hello Harshit Jain,

--- Please go through below attached trigger pulse generation file. which speaks about Periodic Trigger pulse  with on time 18usec and PRF 10msec output generated on GPIO-50 of FX3.

--- The FX3 GPIO block will be running  with a fast clock at "SYS_CLK / 2"(196 MHz). the system clock running at 382 MHz.

1.Trigger pulse with on time 18usec.

2.Trigger pulse with time period 10ms.

Hello Harshit Jain,

-You can use complex GPIO for pulse generation.

-Please go through the below link which speaks about time period and duty cycle of PWM.

"Install Path\EZ-USB FX3 SDK\1.3\firmware\serialif_examples\cyfxgpiocomplexapp".

Sir I have already used pwm to generate clock on one pin and I want pulse i.e trigger signal to generate on another pin. When I am generating trigger its edges are shaking continuously.

Hello Harshit Jain,

Please go through KBA90267, which speaks about a method is given to toggle to GPIO through register. Modify the codes as this KBA suggests.

Sir I have gone through KBA90267. As per the document I have changed CyU3PGpioGetValue to CyU3PGpioSimpleGetValue but still now my scan is shaking. My scan starts with my trigger signal only. It starts at t = 0 but due to shaking of trigger signal it starts before. It can also be the possibility that my signal is not shaking, some other spurious signal is coming on that pin. Do you have any idea how to remove that. I have interfaced ADC with FX3 for digitization.

sir, this is the ultrasonic A-scan and B-scan generated using fx3. you can see 6 horizontal lines in b-scan. That signifies that event got triggered before and the scan has moved to right only for that instant. So my both the scans are shaking. It should be rock steady. This is happening only because my trigger signal is shaking. I have done everything possible but no improvement is there.aani

Sir I have used fx3 followed by unipolar pulser. This pulser is triggered by fx3 only. Pulser output is given to ADC which is further given to PC through fx3.

Hello Harshit Jain,

Please share the snippet of GPIO configuration and IO Matrix configuration.

Let us know which GPIO# you have used as TRIGGER.

Regards,

Anil Srinivas.

Sir, I have followed that file. That code I am using to generate a clock of 20MHz. In additional to clock, I am generating a trigger pulse and that trigger pulse is shaking. Clock is coming very smooth.

The clock that I am generating is free running and the trigger signal is generated after a certain event and stopped after a certain event.
