You can call an I/O Table like any other procedure call. Before you call an I/O Table, make sure you are in one of the following Code views:
● Procedures view as described in Creating Procedures.
● Tests view of a program as described in The Tests View.
Click in the Code area as explained in Entering Code and enter one of the following types of calls:
Explicit call. This specifies the driver in which the I/O Table is located and is typically used when calling the I/O Table from a different module. For example to call the SetFunctionVDC I/O table in the DMM driver, use the following:
DMM.SetFunction(1)
Implicit call. Because this does not explicitly specify the driver in which the I/O Table is located, ATEasy searches all configured drivers for the specified I/O table. This is typically used when calling the I/O Table from the same module. For example, to call the SetFunctionVDC I/O table, use the following:
SetFunction(1)
Important: If you are calling an I/O Table from another module, the I/O Table must be Public, otherwise, it will not work. For more information on how ATEasy searches for public variables, see How ATEasy Searches for Variables.
Note: The most common method for calling I/O Tables is through user-defined commands as explained in Overview of Commands.
For information on testing and running program code, see About Programs, Tasks, and Tests.
