Storing Readings in

Shared Memory - SICL

Example

Comments

1.Because of the E1410 multimeter data storage format (eight bytes / reading), the readings are transferred from shared memory to the PC in bytes. Therefore, it is necessary to swap each byte in order to re-construct the reading. Depending on the storage formats of your particular instruments, swapping may not be necessary.

2.This manual is included on the HP I_O Libraries CD. By viewing the manual from the CD, you can cut and paste this program into your development environment.

This example uses the HP E1410 VXIplug&play driver to configure the multimeter, take the readings, and store them in E8491A shared memory. SICL functions are used to transfer the readings from shared memory to the PC.

//SHAR_SICL.CPP - This program demonstrates how to access the

//HP E8491A’s shared memory. The program stores readings taken by

//the HP E1410 multimeter in HP E8491A shared memory, and then

//transfers those readings from shared memory to the computer.

#include "sicl.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <windows.h>

//project files: SHAR_SICL.cpp, SICL32.lib

//set up byte swap function for readings transferred from

//E8491A shared memory to the PC

#define SWAP_FLOAT64(rdgs) \

 

{ unsigned char src[8];

\

*((double *)src) =

*((double *)rdgs);

\

(rdgs))[0] = ((unsigned

char*) (src))[7]; \
