VXIplug&play Syntax
#include "age1439".h
ViStatus age1439_meas_init(ViSession id);
Description
age1439_meas_init provides an easy way to initiate a measurement in a single module.
Note This command is slightly faster and slightly less robust than age1439_meas_start.
Parameters
id is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function.
Comments
See “The measurement loop” in chapter 3 for details on how a measurement progresses through
the four states.
This function performs the following sequence:
1. Clears the overload count maintained by the API. See “Comments on Overload” on
page 160
2. Moves the module to the Idle state.
3. Generates a Sync transition which moves the module to the Arm state.
4. Always returns AGE1439_SUCCESS (no error conditions can be detected by this
function).
Return Value
This function always returns AGE1439_SUCCESS and does not return any error conditions.
