CntSetTestPulse


Function

Executes the output setting of test pulse.

Format

Ret = CntSetTestPulse ( Id , Internal , Out , Reserved )

Parameters

Id [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short ] [ C#: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]
Specify the device ID retrieved from CntInit.

Internal [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short ] [ C#: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]
Change the output destination of test pulse.
0: External
1: Internal

In the case of CNT-3204IN-USB, only "Internal" can be selected.

Out [ VB.NET: Short ] [ C, C++: short ] [ C#: short ] [ Python: ctypes.c_short ]
Specify the output in ON or OFF.
0: OFF
1: ON

Reserved [ VB.NET: Integer ] [ C, C++: unsigned long ] [ C#: uint ] [ Python: ctypes.c_ulong ]
Specify 0.

Return Value

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

VB.NET

Dim Ret As Integer
Ret = CntSetTestPulse ( Id , 1 , 1 , 0 )
 

C, C++

long Ret;
Ret = CntSetTestPulse ( Id , 1 , 1 , 0 );
 

C#

int Ret;
Ret = cnt.SetTestPulse ( Id , 1 , 1 , 0 );
 

Python

Ret = ctypes.c_long()
Ret.value = ccnt.CntSetTestPulse ( Id , 1 , 1 , 0 )
