/*
* Function name: close_IO
* Parameters: none
* Return value: none
* Description: This routine closes device session.
*/

Multi-Database Example
File: multidatabase.c
/*multidatabase.c*/
/*
* This example program demonstrates the use of the Multidatabase functionality of the
* Agilent 86100 DCA. The program sets up an acquitision of 200 waveforms on two
* channels, first serially, then in parallel. A mask test and simple
* measurements are made on each channel. NOTE: the timeout value must
* be set to a higher value (~30s) so that there is enough time to acquire the
* data.
