Gx6325SetGroupChannels

Purpose

Sets all relays of the specified group to a specified state.

Syntax

Gx6325SetGroupChannels (nHandle, nGroup, lChannelsState, pnStatus)

Parameters

Name
Type
Comments
nHandle
SHORT
Handle to a GX6325 board.
nGroup
SHORT
Group on the GX6325 board. 0-2: 0 for group A, 1 for group B and 2 for group C.
lChannelsState
LONG
State of relays 1-25 of the given group.
pnStatus
PSHORT
Returned status: 0 on success, negative number on failure.

Comments

The lxxxStates parameters holds the state of group relays. Every bit represents a channel. A value of 0 indicates that the channel is open while a value of 1 indicates that the channel is closed. Bit 0 (low order bit) of lChannelsState is used for channel 1 and bit 24 for channel 25, e.g. a value of 3 means channel 1 and 2 are closed and the rest of the channels (1 to 25) of the group are open.

Use Gx6325GetChannel function instead to retrieve the status of a single channel.

Warning

Caution - When closing a relay, verify that all other relays on the same circuit that may cause a short are disconnected (a delay may be required between switching commands). Low Impedance sources such as power supplies may cause irreversible damage to this product when shorted to other signals.

 

Example

The following example sets relays 1 and 3 of group A to a closed state:

 

lChannelsOpenClose=0x5;

Gx6325SetGroupChannels(nHandle, 0, lChannelsOpenClose,

    &nStatus);
