hpe5250a_biasChanList_Q

This function will query the instrument for the bias status for the channels given in the list.

The parameter ’biaschan_list’ is an array of integers with each integer representing one channel. The last number of the ’biaschan_list’ should be "0" (numeric zero) to identify the end of the list. The maximum number of channels that can be specified by the list is 100.

The ’bias_status’ parameter is an array of integers containing the return values of the query. The ’bias_status’ array returned will correspond one to one with ’biaschan_list’ parameter.

Syntax	ViStatus _VI_FUNC hpe5250a_biasChanList_Q(ViSession vi, ViInt16 bias_disen,
	ViInt32 _VI_FAR biaschan_list[ ], ViInt32 _VI_FAR bias_status[ ] );
Parameters	vi	Instrument handle returned from hpe5250a_init( ).
	bias_disen	Bias status for the query.
		0 : confirms if the port is the bias enabled.
		1 : confirms if the port is the bias disabled.
	biaschan_list[ ]	Channel numbers to know the bias status. 5 digits integer.
		ABCDE. where A: card number, BC: input port number, DE:
		output port number. Top zero(s) can be ignored. For example, if
		A=0, BC=01, and DE=01, channel number should be 101
		instead of 00101.
	bias_status[ ]	Bias status of the channels given in the biaschan_list. Returned

value depends on the setting of bias_disen as shown below: when bias_disen=0, 0 means bias disabled, 1 means enabled. when bias_disen=1, 0 means bias enabled, 1 means disabled.
