pipx40_getSettlingTime

ViStatus pipx40_getSettlingTime (ViSession instrumentHandle, ViUInt32 subunitNumber, ViPUInt32 settlingTime);

Purpose

Obtains the sub-unit's settling time. This is the time taken for output channels to fully stabilise.
By default, driver switching functions retain control during this period, so switches are guaranteed to have stabilised when the function returns. This behaviour can be modified by "Set Driver Mode" - function pipx40_setDriverMode.

Parameters

Input
Name	Type	Description
instrumentHandle	ViSession	Instrument handle obtained by the pipx40_init call used to open the card.
subunitNumber	ViUInt32	The number of the sub-unit to access. Valid Values: 1 thru the number of output sub-units available on the chosen card
Output
Name	Type	Description
settlingTime	ViUInt32 (passed by reference)	Variable to receive the sub-unit's settling time, in microseconds.

Return Value

Name	Type	Description
status	ViStatus	A numeric code indicating the success or failure of the operation. VI_SUCCESS = Successful operation. Negative values are error codes and positive values are warnings. To get a description of an error, pass the error code to pipx40_error_message.
