niDMM_ConfigureRTDType

ViStatus = niDMM_ConfigureRTDType(ViSession Instrument_Handle, ViInt32 RTD_Type, ViReal64 RTD_Resistance)

Purpose

Configures the RTD Type and RTD Resistance parameters for an RTD.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
Instrument_Handle ViSession Identifies a particular instrument session. You obtain the Instrument_Handle parameter from niDMM_init or niDMM_InitWithOptions. The default is None.
RTD_Type ViInt32 Specifies the type of RTD used to measure the temperature resistance. NI-DMM uses this value to set the RTD Type property. The default is NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_RTD_PT3851.
