DAQmxCreateTEDSAIVoltageChan
int32 DAQmxCreateTEDSAIVoltageChan (TaskHandle taskHandle, const char physicalChannel[], const char nameToAssignToChannel[], int32 terminalConfig, float64 minVal, float64 maxVal, int32 units, const char customScaleName[]);
Purpose
Creates channel(s) to measure voltage and adds the channel(s) to the task you specify with taskHandle. You must configure the physical channel(s) with TEDS information to use this function. If your measurement requires the use of internal excitation or you need the voltage to be scaled by the excitation, use the DAQmxCreateTEDSAIVoltageChanWithExcit function.

| Name |

Description |
|
taskHandle
|
TaskHandle |
The task used in this function. |
|
physicalChannel
|
const char []
|
The names of the physical channels to use to create virtual channels. You can specify a list or range of physical channels. |
|
nameToAssignToChannel
|
const char []
|
The name(s) to assign to the created virtual channel(s). If you do not specify a name, NI-DAQmx uses the physical channel name as the virtual channel name. If you specify your own names for nameToAssignToChannel, you must use the names when you refer to these channels in other NI-DAQmx functions.
If you create multiple virtual channels with one call to this function, you can specify a list of names separated by commas. If you provide fewer names than the number of virtual channels you create, NI-DAQmx automatically assigns names to the virtual channels. |
|
terminalConfig
|
int32 |
The input terminal configuration for the channel.
|
|
minVal
|
float64 |
The minimum value, in units, that you expect to measure. |
|
maxVal
|
float64 |
The maximum value, in units, that you expect to measure. |
|
units
|
int32 |
The units to use to return measurements.
| Name |
|
Description |
|
DAQmx_Val_FromCustomScale
|
|
Units a custom scale specifies. Use customScaleName to specify a custom scale. |
|
DAQmx_Val_FromTEDS
|
|
Units defined by TEDS information associated with the channel. |
|
|
customScaleName
|
const char []
|
The name of a custom scale to apply to the channel. To use this parameter, you must set units to DAQmx_Val_FromCustomScale. If you do not set units to DAQmx_Val_FromCustomScale, you must set customScaleName to NULL. |
Return Value

Description |
|
status
|
int32 |
The error code returned by the function in the event of an error or warning. A value of 0 indicates success. A positive value indicates a warning. A negative value indicates an error. |
