AioSetAoMemoryType


Function

Sets the memory type for storing data. The meanings is different with the transfer mode that is decided by AioSetAoTransferMode.

Format

Ret = AioSetAoMemoryType ( 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# : short ] [ Python : ctypes.c_short ]
Specifies the memory type for storing data from the following range.

Device buffer

0

FIFO

1

RING

User buffer

0

Not repeat output

1

Repeat output

Return value

Ret [ VB.NET : Integer ] [ C, C++ : long ] [ C# : int ] [ 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.

13140

The value of AoMemoryType is outside the designated range of the function
Set 0(FIFO) or 1(RING) to AiMemoryType.

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.

23140

The value of AoMemoryType is outside the designated range of the device being used

Initial value

In all devices, it is FIFO when the device buffer is used, or it is "Not repeat output" when the user buffer is used. 

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

Sets the memory for the output data in FIFO.

VB.NET

Dim Ret As Integer
Ret = AioSetAoMemoryType ( Id , 0 )
 

C, C++

long Ret;
Ret = AioSetAoMemoryType ( Id , 0 );
 

C#

int Ret;
Ret = aio.SetAoMemoryType ( Id , 0 );
 

Python

Ret = ctypes.c_long()
Ret.value = caio.AioSetAoMemoryType ( Id , 0 )
