AioMultiAi

Function

Converts the more than one channel one time, the conversion data are returned in binary value. This function supports multi-process.

Format

Ret = AioMultiAi ( Id , AiChannels , AiData )

Parameters

Id [ C, C++ : short ] [ Python : ctypes.c_short ]
Specifies the Device ID retrieved from AioInit function.

AiChannels [ C, C++ : short ] [ Python : ctypes.c_short ]
Specifies the number of channels to be converted.

AiData [ C, C++ : long * ] [ Python : ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_long) ]
Specifies the address of the array that stores the converted data. The converted data are stored in binary value.

Resolution of device is 10 bit	0 to 1,023
Resolution of device is 12 bit	0 to 4,095
Resolution of device is 16 bit	0 to 65,535
Resolution of device is 24 bit	0 to 16,777,215

Return value

Ret [ C, C++ : long ] [ Python : ctypes.c_long ]

Return values	content
0	Normality completion
7	Execute AioResetDevice function because the device has recovered from standby mode
10001	Invalid Id was specified Use the Id retrieved from AioInit to specify the Id in this function.
10002	AIO driver can't be called At first, perform AioInit function.
11440	The value of AiChannels is outside the designated range of the function Specify the number of channels setting in range: 1 <= AiChannels <= Max number of channels.
11441	Pointer to AiData is NULL Specify the address of variable to parameter.
20001	This function can't be used by this device
20002	Can not use while by another device works To use this function, analog input operation must be stopped.
21441	The number of conversion channels was exceeded. It is converted on the maximum channel

Remarks

This function cannot be used on devices without the analog input function.
If the device is in operation, the function cannot be performed.

For the device whose channel conversion sequence can be set,
you can use function AioSetAiChannelSequence to change the conversion sequence.

When you use this function and "continuous functions", please refer "How to use simple functions and continuous functions at the same time" topics.

Example

Converts from channel 0 to channel 7 one time.

C, C++	long Ret; long AiData[8]; Ret = AioMultiAi ( Id , 8 , &AiData[0] );
Python	Ret = ctypes.c_long() AiDataType = ctypes.c_long * 8 AiData = AiDataType() Ret.value = caio.AioMultiAi ( Id , 8 , AiData )
