gage_gpib_command
Syntax
C:
int32 GAGEAPI gage_gpib_command (char* strCommand, int nByteSize, char* rvBuffer, int
nBufferSize);
Remarks
gage_gpib_command allows the application program to access functionality built into the on-board
digitization module, that is not available through the standard Gage API, FOR THE COMPUSCOPE 85G
OR 85GC ONLY. For instance, gage_gpib_command is used to implement TV triggering on the CS85GC.
strCommand is a string, initialized by the user, that contains the command to be sent to the CS85G or
85GC digitization module.
nByteSize is the length, initialized by the user, of the string that contains the command to be sent (the
strCommand argument above).
rvBuffer is a string that may be returned by the CS85G or 85GC digitization module, upon execution of
the latest command. This string is often empty.
nBufferSize is the length of the string that may be returned by the CS85G or 85GC digitization module
(the rvBuffer argument above).
Return Value
The return value is a signed 32 bit integer. A return value of 0 indicates that the gage_gpib_command
routine has been implemented properly. Any other value signifies an error while implementing the routine.
Examples
C:
gage_gpib_command (strCmd, strlen(strCmd), strQueryInf, sizeof(strQueryInf));
