Properties for Controlling IviDmm Simulation
 |
Note You can set Simulation Attributes in MAX on the Initial Settings
tab of IVI Drivers»Advanced»Simulation Driver Sessions»nisIviClass or in the simulation interactive panels. Refer to
National Instruments IVI Driver Help»Configuring Your System for more information. |
Two sets of properties exist for use with the IviDmm Simulation driver. The following table describes properties that control behavior of the driver. Another table lists properties that simulate the status of specific driver VIs.
An IviDmm Simulator Setup Dialog Box exists to help you configure the measurement simulation for the IviDmm Simulator driver.
Properties for Controlling IviDmm Simulation
| Name |
Data
Type |
Access |
Applies to |
Description |
| INTERACTIVE_SIMULATION |
Boolean |
W |
No |
Specifies whether to set the driver to interactive mode. In interactive mode, the simulation driver uses pop-up user interface panels for getting information from you. Non-interactive mode is useful when you do not want the interactive panels to interrupt your test program. |
| SELF_TEST_CODE |
Integer |
W |
No |
Specifies the self-test code. When the IviDmm Self-Test VI is called, the self-test result parameter returns this value. |
| SELF_TEST_MSG |
String |
W |
No |
Specifies the self-test message. When the IviDmm Self-Test VI is called, the self-test message parameter returns this string. |
| ERROR_QUERY_CODE |
Integer |
W |
No |
Specifies the error-query code. When the IviDmm Error-Query VI is called, the error code parameter returns this value. |
| ERROR_QUERY_MSG |
String |
W |
No |
Specifies the error-query message. When the IviDmm Error-Query VI is called, the error message parameter returns this string. |
| DRIVER_REV_QUERY |
String |
W |
No |
Specifies the instrument driver revision message. When the IviDmm Revision Query VI is called, the instrument driver revision parameter returns this string. |
| INSTR_REV_QUERY |
String |
W |
No |
Specifies the firmware revision message. When the IviDmm Revision Query VI is called, the firmware revision parameter returns this string. |
| READING_BASE |
Double |
W |
No |
Specifies the base value of all computer generated measurements. Simulated measurements fall between the range of this value plus the value of the NISDMM_ATTR_READING_NOISE property and this value minus the value of the NISDMM_ATTR_READING_NOISE property.
|
Note This property is ignored if the NISDMM_ATTR_FORCE_OVERRANGE property is set to TRUE. |
|
| READING_NOISE |
Double |
W |
No |
Specifies the reading noise of all computer generated measurements. Simulated measurements fall between the range of the value of the NISDMM_ATTR_READING_BASE property plus this value and the value of the NISDMM_ATTR_READING_BASE property minus the this value.
|
Note This property is ignored if the NISDMM_ATTR_FORCE_OVERRANGE property is set to TRUE. |
|
| FORCE_OVERRANGE |
Boolean |
W |
No |
Specifies whether to return and overrange value for all computer generated measurements. When enabled, all measurement VIs simulate a measurement over-load condition by returning a value of IVI_VAL_NAN as the measurement and an overrange warning as the status code. |
| SIMULATE_STATUS_CODE |
Boolean |
W |
No |
Specifies whether to simulate return codes from the IviDmm driver VIs. Refer to the IviDmm Properties for Status Simulation table. |
