Returns:
0 if Successful, otherwise an Error Code
Notes:
Because the 1000 ohm resistor is socketed, it may be replaced with a different value resistor. If
this is the case choose the 1000 ohm (socket) selection anyway.

ConfigureHighLevelCardExcitation Method
Syntax:
HRESULT _stdcall ConfigureHighLevelCardExcitation (in long CardNo, in long Enable, in long
Excitation, out retval long * result );
Description:
Sets the excitation for the selected high-level card.
Arguments:
CardNo
The card number (1-16).
Enable
0 = Excitation Disabled (default)
1 = Enable Positive Excitation (Unipolar)
2= Enable Negative Excitation (Bipolar)
Excitation
The excitation value in units of
millivolts
. (Bipolar Range: 0 to +- 12000mV,
Unipolar Range: 0 to +12000 mV, Default 0mV)
Returns:
0 if Successful, otherwise an Error Code

ConfigureThermocoupleChannel Method
Syntax:
HRESULT _stdcall ConfigureThermocoupleChannel(in long CardNo, in long ChannelNo, in
long CGCType, out retval long * result );
Description:
Sets the thermocouple type (cold junction compensation) for a thermocouple channel. The
thermocouple type setting is used to determine the correct coefficients to use during cold
junction compensation. The compensation point is determined by a temperature sensor on the
panel of the card. When the thermocouple type is set it takes up to two seconds for the new
setting to be processed by the system
