Sample Programs

The following example demonstrates how to program the board using the C programming language under Windows. The example shows how to apply certain voltage to a specified rail.

To run, Enter the following command line:

GxPdoExample <PciSlot> <operation> <channel | dac | rail> <rail_number | voltage | rail_source>

Where:

<PciSlot>	PCI/PXI Explorer slot number where the board resides.
<operation>	Operation code: SCR=Set Channel Rail GCR=Get Channel Rail SDV=Set Dac Voltage GDV=Get Dac Voltage SRS=Set Rail Source
< channel \| dac \| rail >	Depends on the operation: Channel number: 0-7 for SCR/GCR operations DAC number: 0-2 for SDV/GDV operations Rail number: 0-2 for SRS/GRS operations
<rail_numbe\|voltage\|rail_source>	Depends on operation: Rail_number: 0 to 2 Voltage: -10V to 32V Rail_source: 0 to 4

Sample Programs

<PciSlot>

PCI/PXI Explorer slot number where the board resides.

<operation>

Operation code:

SCR=Set Channel Rail

GCR=Get Channel Rail

SDV=Set Dac Voltage

GDV=Get Dac Voltage

SRS=Set Rail Source

< channel | dac | rail >

Depends on the operation:

Channel number: 0-7 for SCR/GCR operations

DAC number: 0-2 for SDV/GDV operations

Rail number: 0-2 for SRS/GRS operations

<rail_numbe|voltage|rail_source>

Depends on operation:

Rail_number: 0 to 2

Voltage: -10V to 32V

Rail_source: 0 to 4
