Functions listed alphabetically

age1439_status_get

Reads status register information for the module.

	VXIplug&play Syntax
	#include "age1439".h
	ViStatus age1439_status_get(ViSession id, ViPInt16 statusPtr);
	Parameters
id	is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function.
statusPtr	points to the status word. The bits are defined below:

PROGRESS

AGE1439_STATUS_MEAS_TRIG_WAIT

These two bits indicate the current state of the measurement loop. See “The measurement loop” in chapter 3 and “age1439_meas_status_get” on page 156 for more information about these states

2	AGE1439_STATUS_PASSED	Passed: This bit is always set to 1
3	AGE1439_STATUS_READY	This bit is set when the module is ready after power-on. See
		the VXIbus Specifications for more information.
4	AGE1439_STATUS_FIBER_ACTIVE	This bit is set internally whenever any data has been written
		to the receive FIFO, or read from the transmit FIFO of the
		fiber interface within the past 500 milliseconds,
		approximately. The bit is cleared automatically when activity
		ceases on the fiber interface
5	AGE1439_STATUS_FIBER_ERROR	This bit is set internally whenever an error condition occurs
		on the fiber interface. Reading the status register does not
		clear this bit. To do this, the age1439_fiber_error_clear
		function must be used explicitly. The function age1439_
		fiber_error_get can be used to read the contents of the fiber
		error register. If the error is continuously present, the bit will
		not be cleared.
6	AGE1439_STATUS_SETUP_ERROR	Setup error: An invalid parameter value was requested. If an
		invalid block size was requested, the closest valid block size
		is used until a change to an interrelated parameter makes the
		requested block size valid. If a data resolution, data type,
		filter bandwidth, trigger delay, or filter decimation parameter
		was requested which would result in an inability to make a
		measurement, the previous valid parameter is used until a
		change to an interrelated parameter makes the requested
		parameter valid
7	AGE1439_STATUS_SYNC_COMPLETE	Sync/Idle Complete: This bit is set when the most recent
		user-initiated Sync or Idle change has propagated through to

all modules in a system. The change is a result of asserting Sync or forcing Idle via the Control Register or issuing a meas_control command or function
