nHandle |
SHORT |
Handle for a GX2065 board. |
pdMeasurement |
PDOUBLE |
Return the measurement. |
pnStatus |
PSHORT |
Returned status: 0 on success, negative number on failure, positive number on warning. |
This function generates a software trigger and forces the DMM to take a measurement. The result is returned without normalizing in base units. For example, Voltage will be returned as Volts, Current will be returned as Amps, Resistance will be returned as Ohms, Temperature will be returned as degrees Celsius, and Frequency will be returned as Hertz.
If the DMM is in continuous trigger mode when this function is called, the DMM will switch to software trigger mode before taking a measurement.
The parameter pdMeasurement will be set to 0 if an error occurs.
If an overflow warning (GXDMM_WARNING_OVERFLOW) has occurred, pdMeasurement will be set to GXDMM_OVERFLOW_MEASUREMENT (1000000000000).
If any other warning occurs, pdMeasurement will be set to 0.
NOTE: When measuring the resistance of open circuit in 2-Wire and 4-Wire modes, the measurement time is less than 1mSec regardless of the resolution and aperture settings.
The following takes a new measurement:
