niTuner_getTemperature

Function Prototype

int niTuner_getTemperature (int taskID, double *temperature, double *correctionFactor);

Purpose

This function returns the temperature of the PXI-5600 downconverter in °C and the temperature correction coefficient based on the current temperature.

Note  Retrieving the downconverter temperature causes a momentary disruption in the IF output signal which may give rise to invalid IF data.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
taskID	int	The Task ID obtained from niTuner_init that identifies the session of a particular device.
temperature	double *	Returns the current temperature of the PXI-5600 downconverter in °C.
correctionFactor	double *	The correction factor based on the current temperature (normalized to 40 °C and multiplied by the calibrated temperature coefficient). Apply this correction factor to the computed power spectrum. See the Spectral Measurements Toolset Help file for more information.

Return Value

Returns the status of the function. To see an explanation of common error and warning codes, see Error and Status Codes. To see a text explanation of the status code, call niTuner_errorHandler.
