unsigned long ulCompressFactor,
LPSTR rec_data)
unFirstChannel
Number of first channel (bit 11 … 0): 0 … channels count – 32 * compress factor – 1
and buffer control (bit 15 … 12): 0 … 15 (see CMD_QUERY_SPECTRA_EX).
ulCompressFactor
Compress factor (MCA166: 1 ... 32, MCA527: 1 … 128)
rec_data
Pointer to a QUERRY_SPECTRA structure.
See CMD_QUERY_SPECTRA, mca_comm.h or mca32com.bas.
Return value See MCA_COMM function
Name MMCA_QUERY_SPECTRA_EX
Description The function read the MMCA spectrum data.
Declaration
ERROR_FLAG CALLBACK MMCA_QUERY_SPECTRA_EX(unsigned short unFirstChannel,
unsigned short unCompressFactor,
unsigned short unBufferControl,
LPSTR rec_data)
unFirstChannel
Number of first channel: 0 … channels count – 32 * compress factor - 1
