A skeleton program will look something like what is shown below.
#include <ri1209e.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
ViSession hdl1209e;
ViStatus err;
// call the initialize function
err = ri1209e_init(“PXI32::15::INSTR”, VI_TRUE, VI_TRUE,
&hdl1209e);
// check the error code
if (err < 0)
{
// do something / report error
ViChar errMsg[256];
ri1209e_error_message(hdl, err, errMsg);
printf(“ri1209e_init() returned error code %d\n”, err);
printf(“error message = ‘%s’\n”, errMsg);
return err;
}
// use other functions of the driver
// …
// done using the driver, call ri1209e_close()
err = ri1209e_close( hdl1209e );
}
The various functions in the driver allow you to configure the dual pulse generators
within the 1209e. They also provide a means to retrieve current status from these
pulse generators. For detailed information on the driver, consult the help
information in the help file “ri1209e.hlp” that is included with the driver.
