There is also the double indexes that we don't allow anywhere else.
They are here because we have different waveforms with same underlying
channel. We could had a bonus optional index to all channels I suppose
and have this as the only current user? Or maybe just a flag to say its
a 'subchannel' and use channel2. Afterall these channels are neither
going to have modifiers or to be differential so I can't see a clash
occuring on the use of that...
Well one of the indexes with the DDS parts is used to distinguish
the tuning words options, in combination with the pincontrol feature.
PLL devices typically doesn't feature this.
So bottom line - can we agree on:
out_altvoltageX_freqY
out_altvoltageX_phaseY
out_altvoltageX_scale
out_altvoltageX_enable
...
Where X stands for the output channel, and Y for some sort of option.
Looks good as far as I am concerned. Might be worth a quick check through
of dds and meter devices to see how we can extend this to cover them.
Hi Jonathan,
Looked at the various use cases. And the only user for the second
subindex seems to be the DDS parts.
I now wondering if we should handle freqY and phaseY by using extended_name,
rather than adding new postfixes for them. Which is going to be
difficult anyways,
since I may need the current postfixes such as _scale as well.
out_altvoltageX_freqY_scale
out_altvoltageX_phaseY_scale
An alternative could be to introduce an indexed extended_name, using the index passed in channel2?
Not sure if it is worth adding it?
