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.
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.
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. |
status status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. 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. |
code code is the error or warning code. 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. |
source source describes the origin of the error or warning. 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. |
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 |
Bank (1) Bank selection, bank value to be sent with command. Valid Range 1-32 Default Value 1 |
TX buffer Reference to Text Indicator, it is used by the driver VI to display raw data sent over the port |
Rx buffer Reference to Text Indicator, it is used by the driver VI to display raw data received over the port |
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. |
