Configure MultiPoint

IVI Compliance Package

IviDmm Configure MultiPoint

IviDmmMultiPoint Capability Group [MP]

This VI configures the properties that affect multipoint measurements. These properties are the trigger count, sample count, sample trigger and sample interval.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDmm Initialize or IviDmm Initialize With Options VI.
trigger count (1) Pass the number of triggers you want the DMM to receive before returning to the Idle state. The driver sets the IviDmm Trigger Count [MP] property to this value.

Default Value: 1

sample count (1) Pass the number of measurements you want the DMM to take each time it receives a trigger. The driver sets the IviDmm Sample Count [MP] property to this value.

Default Value: 1

sample trigger (Immediate) Pass the type of sample trigger you want to use. The driver sets the IviDmm Sample Trigger [MP] property to this value.

When the DMM takes a measurement and the Sample Count parameter is greater than 1, the DMM does not take the next measurement until the event you specify in the Sample Trigger parameter occurs.

Valid Values:

IVIDMM_VAL_IMMEDIATE—Immediate

IVIDMM_VAL_EXTERNAL—External

IVIDMM_VAL_SOFTWARE_TRIG—Software Trigger Function

IVIDMM_VAL_INTERVAL—Interval

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL0—PXI TRIG0 or VXI TTL0

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL1—PXI TRIG1 or VXI TTL1

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL2—PXI TRIG2 or VXI TTL2

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL3—PXI TRIG3 or VXI TTL3

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL4—PXI TRIG4 or VXI TTL4

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL5—PXI TRIG5 or VXI TTL5

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL6—PXI TRIG6 or VXI TTL6

IVIDMM_VAL_TTL7—PXI TRIG7 or VXI TTL7

IVIDMM_VAL_ECL0—VXI ECL0

IVIDMM_VAL_ECL1—VXI ECL1

IVIDMM_VAL_PXI_STAR—PXI Star

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_0—RTSI line 0

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_1—RTSI line 1

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_2—RTSI line 2

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_3—RTSI line 3

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_4—RTSI line 4

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_5—RTSI line 5

IVIDMM_VAL_RTSI_6—RTSI line 6

Default Value: IVIDMM_VAL_IMMEDIATE

Notes
  1. IVIDMM_VAL_IMMEDIATE—The DMM takes the next measurement immediately. The DMM does not wait for a trigger of any kind.
  2. IVIDMM_VAL_EXTERNAL—The DMM takes the next measurement when a trigger occurs on the external trigger input.
  3. IVIDMM_VAL_SOFTWARE_TRIG—The DMM takes the next measurement when you call the Send Software Trigger [SWT] VI.
  4. IVIDMM_VAL_INTERVAL—The DMM takes the next measurement after waiting the length of time you specify in the Sample Interval parameter.
This parameter is ignored if the value of the Sample Count parameter is 1.
sample interval (0.0 s) Pass the length of time you want the DMM to wait between samples. Express this value in seconds. The driver sets the IviDmm Sample Interval [MP] property to this value.

If the Sample Count parameter is greater than 1 and the Sample Trigger parameter is set to IVIDMM_VAL_INTERVAL, the DMM waits between measurements for the length of time you specify with this parameter. Otherwise, this property does not affect the behavior of the instrument.

Default Value: 0.0 seconds

Notes
  1. This parameter is ignored if the value of the Sample Count parameter is 1.
  2. This parameter is ignored if the value of the Sample Trigger parameter is not IVIDMM_VAL_INTERVAL.
error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDmm Initialize or IviDmm Initialize With Options VI.
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
