See the Licence permissions and limitations under the Licence. * * @details Emulates a charged-capacitor pulse discharge on a high-voltage bus: * * - on a rising edge of the (optional) Trigger input — the EPICS "start" * setpoint — the output ramps linearly from its current level to HighLevel * over RampUpMs (default 1 ms, the charger ramp); * - it then holds HighLevel flat for PlateauMs — read from the (optional) * PlateauMs input at trigger time, i.e. the EPICS "duration" setpoint; * - finally it ramps back to 0 over RampDownMs (default 100 ms, the * capacitive discharge); * - until the next trigger the output sits at 0 (the "off" phase). * * Gaussian noise (NoiseStdDev, default 333.33 V → 3σ ≈ ±1000 V) is added to * every sample, and random EMI spikes of ±EMIAmplitude (default 5000 V, * probability EMIProbabilityPerSample per sample, EMISpikeSamples long) strike * during both the on and off phases. * * With no Trigger input connected, AutoTriggerPeriodMs > 0 self-triggers the * sequence periodically so the GAM runs standalone. * * Configuration: *
* +MyGAM = {
* Class = PulseGeneratorGAM
* SamplingRate = 1000000.0 // must match the output signal rate
* RampUpMs = 1.0
* RampDownMs = 100.0
* HighLevel = -40000.0
* NoiseStdDev = 333.33
* EMIAmplitude = 5000.0
* EMIProbabilityPerSample = 0.00001
* EMISpikeSamples = 5
* PlateauMsDefault = 500.0 // used when PlateauMs input absent
* AutoTriggerPeriodMs = 0.0 // 0 = external trigger only
* Seed = 0 // PRNG seed; 0 = from wall clock
* InputSignals = { // optional: 0, 1 or 2 inputs
* Trigger = { DataSource = DDB; Type = float32 }
* PlateauMs = { DataSource = DDB; Type = float32 }
* }
* OutputSignals = {
* HV = { DataSource = DDB; Type = float32; NumberOfElements = 1000 }
