Ctrl Command load_stretch_table
Function loads a table with data pairs from an ASCII text file for enhanced 3D correction (see
page 176 ).
Call
NoOfDataPairs = load_stretch_table( Name, No )
Parameters
Name
name of the text file as a pointer to a null-terminated ANSI string
(the text file may contain one or more tables)
or NULL
No
signed 32-bit value
• For
No

0, this parameter specifies which table in the text file shall be
loaded (the parameter corresponds to the extension
<No>
of the instruction
[StretchTable<No>]
at the beginning of the desired table).
•
No
< 0: reserved for future use
Result signed 32-bit value (a positive error code in case of an error, the negative number of found
data pairs in case of success):
Value Description
< 0 Success.
The absolute value of the return value is equal to the number of valid data pairs found in the table.
0 Reserved
2 Out of Memory (not enough WINDOWS memory)
3 File not found.
4 DSP memory error
5 BUSY error, board is BUSY or INTERNAL-BUSY, no download ( get_last_error return code
RTC5_BUSY
).
6 Data error: data pairs missing
11 PCI download error ( get_last_error return code
RTC5_SEND_ERROR
)
13 The specified table number was not found in the file.
15 Verify error ( get_last_error return code
RTC5_VERIFY_ERROR
, only possible with set_verify
option set)
Comments • Details about enhanced 3D correction (e.g. format requirements for the text file’s table
entries) are described on page 176 .
• A successfully loaded table will activate the new enhanced 3D correction. Here,
load_stretch_table will overwrite any previously loaded table.
• If
Name
is not NULL, but no table was successfully read, then load_stretch_table will
return an error code (e.g. code 13 if a
No
value is specified for which no
[ StretchTable <No>]
entry is included in the text file), but otherwise will have no effect
(i.e. any previous successfully downloaded table will stay enabled).
• If
Name
is NULL, then load_stretch_table disables any enhanced 3D correction enabled
by a previous load_stretch_table command.
• The command will not be executed ( get_last_error return code :
RTC5_BUSY
) if the
board’s BUSY status is currently set (list is being processed or has been halted via
pause_list ) or the board’s INTERNAL-BUSY status is currently set. In contrast, the
command is executed when a list has been paused via set_wait ( PAUSED status set).
• During execution of load_stretch_table , external starts will be suppressed.
• Before loading a table, load_stretch_table performs a DSP memory check. In case of
an error, error code 4 is returned.
