Boards that Support the Function
Operation 2-bytes binary data is changed into short(Integer) value.
Format
(VB.NET)
Dim Ret As Integer
Dim Str(2) As Byte
Dim ShtData As Short
Ret = GpCnvCvi(Str, ShtData)
(C)
DWORD Ret;
BYTE Str[2];
short ShtData;
Ret = GpCnvCvi(Str, &ShtData);
(C#)
uint Ret;
byte[] Str = new byte[2];
short ShtData;
Ret = gpib.CnvCvi(Str, out ShtData);
(Python)
Ret = ctypes.c_ulong()
Str = (ctypes.c_ubyte * 2)()
ShtData = ctypes.c_short()
Ret.value = GpibPy.GpCnvCvi (Str, ctypes.byref(ShtData))
Mode Master mode / Slave mode
Parameters
Str : Binary data arrangement to change.
Specifies 2-bytes binary data
ShtData : Changed short value array(Integer value in VB, return value)
Ret : Return value
0 : Normal completion
255 : Illegal call
(See "Return Values" for details.)
Notes
1 Binary data set up in this function must be satisfied the following conditions.
-Have 2 bytes even if it is the worst. A movement isn't assured in the case as the under 2 bytes.
2 Data on the first byte in the data
are changed by the default as an upper.
Use GpCnvCvSettings when
you want to change data on the second byte as an upper.
3 Changed data are only 2 bytes. Data on 3 bytes and more are ignored from the head.
4 This function can be used even if it isn't called a GpIni.
5 This function provides the function which is about equal to the CVI function of QuickBasic.
