Sample Programs

The following example demonstrates how to program the board using the C/C++ programming language under Windows. The example shows how to initialize the DMM, set it up for measurement or trigger settings and get the reading.

To run, enter the following command line:

GxDmmExampleC <Slot> <Function> <Range> <Resolution>

<Slot>	PXI Explorer slot number where the board reside.
<Function>	DMM measurement function: VDC=set function to Volts DC IDC=set function to Current DC VAC=set function to Volts AC, AC Coupled IAC=set function to Current AC AC Coupled VAC_DC_CPL=set function to Volts AC, DC Coupled IAC_DC_CPL=set function to Current AC DC Coupled TWO_WIRE=set function to 2 Wire Resistance FOUR_WIRE=set function to 4 Wire Resistance
<Range>	Measurement range: A floating point value approximating the value to be measured.
<Resolution>	One of the following resolutions: 4=set resolution to 3.5 digits 5=set resolution to 4.5 digits 6=set resolution to 5.5 digits 7=set resolution to 6.5 digits

Sample Programs

<Slot>

PXI Explorer slot number where the board reside.

<Function>

DMM measurement function:

VDC=set function to Volts DC

IDC=set function to Current DC

VAC=set function to Volts AC, AC Coupled

IAC=set function to Current AC AC Coupled

VAC_DC_CPL=set function to Volts AC, DC Coupled

IAC_DC_CPL=set function to Current AC DC Coupled

TWO_WIRE=set function to 2 Wire Resistance

FOUR_WIRE=set function to 4 Wire Resistance

<Range>

Measurement range: A floating point value approximating the value to be measured.

<Resolution>

One of the following resolutions:

4=set resolution to 3.5 digits

5=set resolution to 4.5 digits

6=set resolution to 5.5 digits

7=set resolution to 6.5 digits
