IviDmm Simulator Setup Dialog Box

Two sets of attributes exist for use with the IviDmm Simulation Driver. You use the dialog box shown below to configure the measurement simulation for the IviDmm Simulator driver. Scroll down to see a description of each control.

Simulator Setup Dialog Box

Always prompt for output data simulation

Leaving this control selected causes the panel to appear at every measurement acquisition event in your program. All simulated acquisitions in the program use the same measurement configuration information. Deselecting this control causes the measurement simulation panel to never appear again during the course of your program.

Force Over-Range

Select this control if you want to force an overrange condition to occur during measurement events. When enabled, all measurements simulate a measurement over-load condition by returning an IEEE-defined Not a Number (Nan) value as the measurement and an overrange warning as the return status.

Measurement Base

Enter the measurement base to use for all computer-generated measurements. All computer-generated measurement values fall within the range of this value plus or minus the value of the Measurement Noise control.

Valid Range: any value

Measurement Noise

Enter the reading noise to use for all computer-generated measurements. All computer-generated measurement values fall within the range of the value of the Measurement Base control plus or minus this value.

Valid Range: any positive value
