GetViReal64EntryFromCmdValue

IVI Library

Ivi_GetViReal64EntryFromCmdValue

Usage

ViStatus Ivi_GetViReal64EntryFromCmdValue(ViInt32 commandValue, IviRangeTablePtr rangeTable, ViReal64* discreteOrMinValue, ViReal64* maxValue, ViReal64* coercedValue, ViInt32* tableIndex, ViString* commandString);

Purpose

This function finds the first range table entry for which the cmdValue field is equal to the command value you specify. If the function finds an entry, it returns the contents of the entry. If it does not find an entry, it returns an IVI_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE error.

The function returns the discreteOrMinValue, maxValue, and coercedValue fields as ViIReal64 values.

Parameters

Name Type Description
commandValue ViInt32

Specify the command value that you want to find in the range table.

rangeTable IviRangeTablePtr

Specify the address of the range table in which to search for the command value.

discreteOrMinValue ViReal64*

If the search succeeds, this parameter returns the value of the discreteOrMinValue field of the entry.

You can pass VI_NULL for the parameter if you are not interested in this value.

maxValue ViReal64*

If the search succeeds, this parameter returns the value of the maxValue field of the entry.

You can pass VI_NULL for the parameter if you are not interested in this value.

coercedValue ViReal64*

Specify the coerced value that you want to find in the range table.

tableIndex ViInt32*

If the search succeeds, this parameter returns the 0-based index of the entry.

You can pass VI_NULL for the parameter if you are not interested in this value.

commandString ViString*

If the search succeeds, this parameter returns the pointer in the cmdString field of the entry.

Do not change the contents of the string.

You can pass VI_NULL for the parameter if you are not interested in this value.

Return Value

Contains the status code that the function call returns. IVI engine functions can return error and warning values from several sets of status codes. Some status codes are unique to the IVI engine. Other status codes are the same codes that VISA Library functions return. Still others are error or warning values that functions in specific instrument drivers return. Each set of status codes has its own numeric range.

Regardless of the source of the status code, 0 always indicates success, a positive value indicates a warning, and a negative value indicates an error.
