pipx40_resSetResistance

ViStatus pipx40_resSetResistance (ViSession instrumentHandle, ViUInt32 subunitNumber, ViUInt32 mode, ViReal64 resistance);

Purpose

Set a precision programmable resistor's resistance.
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
mode	ViUInt32	A value indicating how the given resistance value is to be applied. Valid codes: 0 = pipx40_RES_MODE_SET Set resistance to the value specified
resistance	ViReal64	The resistance value, 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.
