AioGetAoMemoryType


Function

Retrieves the memory type for storing data.

Format

Ret = AioGetAoMemoryType ( Id , AoMemoryType )

Parameters

Id [ VB.NET : Short ] [ C, C++ : short ] [ C# : short ] [ Python : ctypes.c_short ]
Specifies the ID retrieved from AioInit function.

AoMemoryType [ VB.NET : Short ] [ C, C++ : short * ] [ C# : out short ] [ Python : ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_short) ]
Specifies the address of the variable that stores the memory type for storing data.
The stored value meanings depends on the transfer mode that is decided by AioSetAoTransferMode function.

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.

Pointer to AoMemoryType 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 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.

Initial value

In all devices, FIFO

Remarks

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

Example

Retrieves the memory type for storing data.

VB.NET

Dim Ret As Integer
Dim AoMemoryType As Short
Ret = AioGetAoMemoryType ( Id , AoMemoryType )
 

C, C++

long Ret;
short AoMemoryType;
Ret = AioGetAoMemoryType ( Id , &AoMemoryType );
 

C#

int Ret;
short AoMemoryType;
Ret = aio.GetAoMemoryType ( Id , out AoMemoryType );
 

Python

Ret = ctypes.c_long()
AoMemoryType = ctypes.c_short()
Ret.value = caio.AioGetAoMemoryType ( Id , ctypes.byref(AoMemoryType) )
