Purpose
Sets the Calibration mode.
Syntax
GxCntSetCalibrationMode (nHandle, nMode, pnStatus)

Description
|
nHandle
|
SHORT
|
Handle to a counter board.
|
nMode
|
SHORT
|
Calibration mode:
-
0 = GXCNT_CAL_OFF: The current calibration factors are retained. Stable calibration factors preclude a possible shift in results during a period of data collection.
-
1 = GXCNT_CAL_CONTINUOUS: Calibration is performed continuously approximately once every 60 seconds. Default settings.
-
2 = GXCNT_CAL_ONCE: Selecting “Once” causes an immediate execution of the calibration procedure, and then disables future calibration. This mode ensures that data is taken with recent calibration factors, and prevents re-calibration from causing a systematic shift in results.
|
pnStatus
|
PSHORT
|
Returned status: 0 on success, negative number on failure.
|
Comments
The calibration mode controls how often the calibration routine is invoked.
Example
The following example sets the Calibration mode to on:
SHORT nHandle, nStatus;
GxCntSetCalibrationMode (nHandle, GXCNT_CAL_ON, &nStatus)
