C Function Prototype

ViStatus IviDmm_ConfigureRTD (ViSession vi, ViReal64 alpha ViReal64 resistance);

Purpose

This function configures the alpha and resistance parameters for a resistance temperature device.

Parameters

Name Type Description
vi ViSession The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDmm_init or IviDmm_InitWithOptions functions. The handle identifies a particular IVI session.
alpha ViReal64 Pass the alpha parameter for a resistance temperature device. The driver sets the IVIDMM_ATTR_TEMP_RTD_ALPHA attribute to this value.
