Function Definitions and Usage 

The functions listed below are found in the 

sc5305a.dll

 dynamic linked library These functions are also 

provided  in  the  SC5305A  LabVIEW  palette,  except  in  cases  where  an  existing  native  function  already 
exists  to  perform  the  same  or  similar  task.  The  LabVIEW  functions  contain  context  help  (Ctrl+H)  to 
provide further clarification of each function. 

 

Function:

 

sc5305a_ListResources(char **visaResource, unsigned int *size)

int  sc5305a_ListResources(char **visaResource, unsigned int *size) 

Return:

 

Error code 

Output:

 

char **visaResources 

 

(pointer list to device resources) 

 

int size 

 

(number of devices found) 

Description:

 

sc5305a_ListResources

 searches for SignalCore SC5305A devices connected to the host 

computer  and  returns  an  array  containing  their  resource  IDs.  The  user  can  use  this 
information  to  open  the  device(s).  See
