pipx40_resGetResistance

ViStatus pipx40_resGetResistance (ViSession instrumentHandle, ViUInt32 subunitNumber, ViPReal64 resistance);

Purpose

Obtains the resistance setting of a precision programmable resistor sub-unit.
This function is for "Precision" resistor models only.

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:  must correspond to a programmable resistor
sub-unit of the chosen card that supports
calibrated resistance settings

Output
Name Type Description
resistance ViReal64 (passed by reference)

Variable to receive the resistance setting, in ohms.

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.
