ProXR.lvlib:Set Attached Bank Value.vi

Owning Palette: ProXR

Requires: Base Package

Platform(s): Windows

Sets the attached bank value.

The ProXR series controllers are shipped as though the customer has 254 relays attached. This allows the controller to be instantly compatible with several XR expansion boards, right out of the box. However, you can gain a performance increase by setting the Attached Banks value to the actual number of relays you are using.

If you are using a 16 Relay ProXR controller, and you reduce the Attached Banks value to 2, relay control operation will be processed 16 times faster. If you have a 32 relay controller and you reduce the Attached Banks value to 4, relay control operations will be processed 8 times faster. To determine the appropriate

Attached Banks value, divide the number of total relays you will be using by 8.

cvsrn

VISA resource name

A reference to the port in use. The reference to the resource name is created in the Initialize VI. Therefore, before calling this VI, you need to call the Initialize VI. To run this VI interactively, select the previously initialized resource name from the pull-down menu. To run this VI programmatically, wire the VISA resource name out terminal of the Initialize VI to subsequent VISA resource name input terminals. You chain instrument driver VIs together by wiring the VISA resource name out terminal to subsequent VISA resource name input terminals.

cerrcodeclst

error in (no error)

error in can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

Right-click the error in control on the front panel and select Explain Error or Explain Warning from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

cbool

API Mode (On)

Boolean Input to select the packet type generated and sent to the instrument. If API mode is enabled, the packet sent to the Instrument is an API packet, otherwise it is a standard packet.

The response packet received from the instrument is also verified based on this input. If API mode is enabled, the header, length and checksum fields are verified. Otherwise, single byte response is verified.

Valid Values

0: API mode Off/disabled

1: API mode On/enabled

Default Value

1: API mode On/enabled

cu8

Bank (1)

Bank selection, bank value to be sent with command.

Valid Range

1-32

Default Value

1

cstrrn

TX buffer

Reference to Text Indicator, it is used by the driver VI to display raw data sent over the port

cstrrn

Rx buffer

Reference to Text Indicator, it is used by the driver VI to display raw data received over the port

ivsrn

VISA resource name out

A copy of the reference to the instrument in use. The reference to the resource name is created in the Initialize VI. Wire the VISA resource name out terminal of the Initialize VI to subsequent VISA resource name input terminals. You chain instrument driver VIs together by wiring the VISA resource name out terminal to subsequent VISA resource name input terminals.
