gage_set_independant_operation
Syntax
C:
void GAGEAPI gage_set_independant_operation (int16 independant);
Visual BASIC:
Sub gage_set_independant_operation (ByVal independant As Integer)
Remarks
gage_set_independant_operation sets the driver to initialize the Multiple/Independent CompuScope
operation mode. In Multiple/Independent mode, two or more CompuScopes can be operated completely
independently of each other with completely different CompuScope parameters.
Before initializing the CompuScope hardware, with the gage_driver_initialize routine, the
gage_set_independant_operation routine must be called to enable Multiple/Independent CompuScope
operation. Before setting up each board with the desired parameters, you should select the board by calling
the gage_select_board routine.
When operating CompuScopes in Multiple/Independent mode, the routines; gage_board_start_capture,
gage_board_force_capture and gage_board_abort_capture should be used in place of
gage_start_capture, gage_force_capture and gage_abort_capture, respectively. These routines select
the appropriate board internally.
The independant parameter when used with a non-zero value will set the CompuScope hardware for
Multiple/Independent operation.
Once the CompuScope hardware has been set for independent mode the routine
gage_set_independant_operation with the value 0 for the independant parameter can be called to disable
Multiple/Independent operation. gage_set_independant_operation must be called before calling the
gage_driver_initialize routine when independent operation mode is required.
Return Value
None
