age1439_wait
Facilitates the synchronization and control of multi-module systems.
VXIplug&play Syntax
#include "age1439".h
ViStatus age1439_wait(ViSession id);
Description
This function assures that all slave modules are completely set up before issuing measurement
control commands to the master module. Prior to calling age1439_meas_control for the master
module in multi-module systems, you should call age1439_wait for each other module within the
related synchronous group to which you have previously sent commands.
This function polls the status register of the indicated module until the AGE1439_STATUS_
HARDWARE_SET and AGE1439_STATUS_SYNC_COMPLETE bits are both true, or until
approximately three seconds have elapsed. The function returns AGE1439_SUCCESS
immediately after the status bits are set, or, if the time-out limit is reached, AGE1439_STATUS_
WAIT_TIMEOUT is returned.
Parameters
id is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function.
Return Value
AGE1439_SUCCESS indicates that a function was successful.
Values other than AGE1439_SUCCESS indicate an error condition or other important status
condition. To determine the error message, pass the return value to
“age1439_error_message” on
page 102 .
