IMAQ Get Meter VI

Owning Palette: Instrument ReadersInstalled With: NI Vision Development Module

Calibrates the meter or gauge using the initial and the full-scale position of the needle. It calculates the position of the base of the needle and the arc traced by the tip of the needle.

ROI Descriptor is a descriptor that defines the ROI drawn by the user to identify the initial position of the needle and the full-scale position of the needle. The origin of each line must be the tip of the needle.

c1di32.gif

Global Rectangle contains the coordinates of the bounding rectangle.

c1dcclst.gif

Contours are each of the individual shapes that define an ROI.

cenum.gif

ID refers to whether the contour is the external or internal edge of an ROI.

cu32.gif

Type is the shape type of the contour.

c1di32.gif

Coordinates indicates the relative position of the contour.

error in (no error) describes the error status before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurred before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.

cbool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

cstr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

Needle Base is a cluster containing the coordinates of the base of the needle.

i1dnclst.gif

Points Arc is an array of clusters containing the coordinates of the points of the arc traced by the tip of the needle.

error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

ibool.gif

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.

ii32.gif

code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a nonzero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

istr.gif

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
