pi40iv_GetAttributeViReal64

The ViSession handle that you obtain from the pi40iv_init or pi40iv_InitWithOptions function.  The handle identifies a particular instrument session.
Default Value:  None

If the attribute is channel-based, this parameter specifies the name of the channel on which to obtain the value of the attribute. If the attribute is not channel-based, then pass VI_NULL or an empty string.
Valid Channel Names:  x1,x2,y1,y2
Default Value:  ""

Pass the ID of an attribute.
From the function panel window, you can use this control as follows.
- Click on the control or press <ENTER>, <spacebar>, or
<ctrl-down arrow>, to display a dialog box containing a
hierarchical list of the available attributes.  Help text is
shown for each attribute.  Select an attribute by
double-clicking on it or by selecting it and then pressing
<ENTER>.
A ring control at the top of the dialog box allows you to see
all IVI attributes or only the attributes of the ViReal64
type.  If you choose to see all IVI attributes, the data types
appear to the right of the attribute names in the list box.
Attributes with data types other than ViReal64 are dim. If
you select an attribute data type that is dim, LabWindows/CVI
transfers you to the function panel for the corresponding
function that is consistent with the data type.
- If you want to enter a variable name, press <CTRL-T> to change
this ring control to a manual input box.
- If the attribute in this ring control has named constants as  
valid values, you can view the constants by moving to the
Attribute Value control and pressing <ENTER>.

Returns the current value of the attribute.  Pass the address of a ViReal64 variable.
From the function panel window, you can use this control as follows.
- If the attribute currently showing in the Attribute ID ring
control has named constants as valid values, you can view a
list of the constants by pressing <ENTER> on this control.  
Select a value by double-clicking on it or by selecting it and
then pressing <ENTER>.  

Returns the status code of this operation.  The status code  either indicates success or describes an error or warning condition.  You examine the status code from each call to an instrument driver function to determine if an error occurred.
To obtain a text description of the status code, call the pi40iv_error_message function.  To obtain additional information about the error condition, call the pi40iv_GetErrorInfo function.  To clear the error information from the driver, call the pi40iv_ClearErrorInfo function.
The general meaning of the status code is as follows:
Value                  Meaning
-------------------------------
0                      Success
Positive Values        Warnings
Negative Values        Errors
This driver defines the following status codes:
Status    Description
-------------------------------------------------
WARNINGS:
/*=CHANGE:===================================================*
Insert Instrument-defined warning codes here.
*================================================END=CHANGE=*/
ERRORS:
/*=CHANGE:===================================================*
Insert Instrument-defined error codes here.
*================================================END=CHANGE=*/
This instrument driver also returns errors and warnings defined by other sources.  The following table defines the ranges of additional status codes that this driver can return.  The table lists the different include files that contain the defined constants for the particular status codes:
Numeric Range (in Hex)   Status Code Types    
-------------------------------------------------
3FFA2000 to 3FFA3FFF     IviSwtch Warnings
3FFA0000 to 3FFA1FFF     IVI      Warnings
3FFF0000 to 3FFFFFFF     VISA     Warnings
3FFC0000 to 3FFCFFFF     VXIPnP   Driver Warnings
BFFA2000 to BFFA3FFF     IviSwtch Errors
BFFA0000 to BFFA1FFF     IVI      Errors
BFFF0000 to BFFFFFFF     VISA     Errors
