hil_write_other

Writes to other outputs immediately.

Description

The hil_write_other function writes to the specified other output channels immediately. The function does not return until the data has been written.

Prototype

t_error
hil_write_other(t_card card, const t_uint32 other_channels[], t_uint32 num_channels, const t_double buffer[]);
    

Parameters

t_card card

A handle to the board, as returned by hil_open .

const t_uint32 [] other_channels

An array containing the channel numbers of the other outputs to be written.

Select a board type from the list for board-specific details: .

t_uint32 num_channels

The number of channels specified in the other_channels array.

const t_double [] buffer

An array containing the values to write to the other outputs. The array must contain num_channels elements. Each element in the buffer array corresponds to the same element in the other_channels array.

Return value

The return value is 0 if the other outputs are written successfully. Otherwise a negative error code is returned. Error codes are defined in quanser_errors.h. A suitable error message may be retrieved using msg_get_error_message .

Error codes

QERR_HIL_WRITE_OTHER_NOT_SUPPORTED

This function is not supported by the board-specific HIL driver for this board type.

QERR_INVALID_CARD_HANDLE

An invalid card handle was passed as an argument. Once a card has been closed using hil_close the card handle is invalid.

QERR_MISSING_OTHER_OUTPUTS

The other_channels argument is NULL. If the number of channels is greater than zero then a channel vector must be provided.

QERR_MISSING_OTHER_OUTPUT_BUFFER

The buffer argument is NULL. If the number of channels is greater than zero then a buffer must be provided.

QERR_TOO_MANY_OTHER_OUTPUT_CHANNELS

Too many other output channels were specified.

QERR_INVALID_OTHER_OUTPUT_CHANNEL

One of the other output channels that was specified is not a valid channel number. Channel numbers range from 0 to one less than the number of channels.

QERR_DRIVER_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_BOARD_DLL

The board-specific HIL driver passed an invalid parameter to the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. The board-specific HIL driver is likely not compatible with the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. Make sure both are up-to-date and compatible versions.

QERR_INTERNAL_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL

The board-specific HIL driver used an internal buffer that was too small for the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. The board-specific HIL driver is likely not compatible with the operating system specific kernel-level driver for the board. Make sure both are up-to-date and compatible versions.

QERR_OUT_OF_REQUIRED_SYSTEM_RESOURCES

There are not enough system resources to perform the requested operation. Try rebooting, requesting fewer samples, or adding more memory to your machine.

Examples

/* Write to the first two other output channels. */
t_uint32 channels[] = { 0, 1 };
t_double buffer[]   = { 1.0, 0.0 };
t_error result = hil_write_other(board, channels, ARRAY_LENGTH(channels), buffer);
