CalDmmSetResolution

Purpose

Sets the measurement resolution.

Syntax

CalDmmSetResolution (hHandle, enResolution, plStatus)

Parameters

Name
Type
Comments
hHandle
LONG
Handle for a DMM.
enResolution
enumCalDmmResolution
Sets the measurement in terms of digits of resolution.
4.  aDmmResolution3_5_Digits – 3 and a ½ Digits of Resolution.
5.  aDmmResolution4_5_Digits – 4 and a ½ Digits of Resolution.
6.  aDmmResolution5_5_Digits – 5 and a ½ Digits of Resolution.
7.  aDmmResolution6_5_Digits – 6 and a ½ Digits of Resolution.
8.  aDmmResolution7_5_Digits – 7 and a ½ Digits of Resolution.
9.  aDmmResolution8_5_Digits – 8 and a ½ Digits of Resolution.
plStatus
PLONG
Returned status: 0 on success, negative number on failure.

Comments

Resolution determines the number of digits returned in a normalized reading. Larger resolutions will result in slower measurement times for a given function. Setting the resolution will result in the aperture being set to a corresponding value internally.

Example

The following example sets the resolution to 5 ½ digits:

 

LONG   lHandle, lStatus;

 

CalDmmSetResolution (lHandle, aDmmResolution5_5_Digits, &lStatus);
