NI-DMM C/CVI/VB

niDMM_ConfigureThermocouple

ViStatus = niDMM_ConfigureThermocouple(ViSession Instrument_Handle, ViInt32 Thermocouple_Type, ViInt32 Reference_Junction_Type)

Purpose

Configures the thermocouple type and reference junction type for a chosen thermocouple.

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.
Thermocouple_Type ViInt32 Specifies the type of thermocouple used to measure the temperature. NI-DMM uses this value to set the Thermocouple Type property. The default is NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_J.

NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_B Thermocouple type B
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_E Thermocouple type E
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_J Thermocouple type J
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_K Thermocouple type K
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_N Thermocouple type N
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_R Thermocouple type R
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_S Thermocouple type S
NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_TC_T Thermocouple type T
Reference_Junction_Type ViInt32 Specifies the type of reference junction to be used in the reference junction compensation of a thermocouple measurement. NI-DMM uses this value to set the Reference Junction Type property. The only supported value is NIDMM_VAL_TEMP_REF_JUNC_FIXED.

Return Value

Name Type Description
Status ViStatus Reports the Status of this operation. To obtain a text description of the status code, call niDMM_error_message. To obtain additional information concerning the error condition, use niDMM_GetError.
