niDMM_Read

ViStatus = niDMM_Read(ViSession Instrument_Handle, ViInt32 Maximum_Time, ViReal64 *Reading)

Purpose

Acquires a single measurement and returns the measured value.

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.
Maximum_Time	ViInt32	Specifies the Maximum_Time allowed for this function to complete in milliseconds. If the function does not complete within this time interval, the function returns the NIDMM_ERROR_MAX_TIME_EXCEEDED error code. This may happen if an external trigger has not been received, or if the specified timeout is not long enough for the acquisition to complete. The valid range is 0–86400000. The default value is NIDMM_VAL_TIME_LIMIT_AUTO (-1). The DMM calculates the timeout automatically.
Output
Name	Type	Description
Reading	ViReal64*	The measured value returned from the DMM.

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.
