AioSetAoTransferData

Function

Sets the user buffer that stores the output data.
This settings is necessary when the transfer mode of the conversion data that is set by AioSetAoTransferMode function is User buffer mode.
This function needn't be executed if the transfer mode of the conversion data is Device buffer.

Format

Ret = AioSetAoTransferData ( Id , DataNumber , Buffer )

Parameters

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

DataNumber [ C, C++ : long ] [ Python : ctypes.c_long ]
Specifies the array size of the user buffer that you want to set. Please specify the size that is the number of elements in the array.

Buffer [ C, C++ : long * ] [ Python : ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_long) ]
Specifies the address of the user buffer. When used on 64bit OS, please declare the buffer as int and cast the starting address of the buffer to long *.

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.
13600	The value of DataNumber is outside the designated range of the function
13601	Pointer to Buffer is NULL Specify the address of variable to parameter.
13602	It failed in securing a buffer for Bus-Master transfer
20001	This function can't be used by this device
20002	Can not use while by another device works To use this function, analog output operation must be stopped.
20003	Can not use because another process is using the device When another process is using the device, all functions except for those that support multi-process can not be performed.
23600	The value of DataNumber is outside the designated range of the device being used

Remarks

When the conversion data are stored to the user buffer, please refer to [User buffer setting]

When the user buffer is set, in advance, you need calculate the number of packets (=the number of elements in the array) of one generating. If you use AioGetAoSamplingDataSize function, the number of packets for one generating can be retrieved.

This function cannot be used on devices without the analog output function.
If the device is in operation, the function cannot be performed.
Before this function is executed, please perform AioSetAoMemoryType function.

Example

Sets the user buffer with the size of 10000 packets.

C, C++	long Ret; int Buffer[10000]; Ret = AioSetAoTransferData ( Id , 10000 , (long *)&Buffer[0] );
Python	Ret = ctypes.c_long() BufferType = ctypes.c_int * 10000 Buffer = BufferType() Ret.value = caio.AioSetAoTransferData ( Id , 10000 , ctypes.cast(Buffer, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_long)) )
