IVxiMemacc::In16

Note: Keysight's VISA COM does not support a COM server for VXI. The IVxi-related interfaces are listed in this help file because they are included in the global VISA COM library.

Description

Reads in an 16-bit value from the specified memory space (assigned memory base + offset). This function takes the 16-bit value from the address space pointed to by space. The offset must be a valid memory address in the space.

If the session object is an INSTR session, the offset parameter specifies a relative offset from the start of the instrument's address space. If the session object is a MEMACC session, the offset parameter is an absolute offset from the start of memory in that VXI address space.

VB Prototype

value As Short = In16( space As Short, offset As Long )

C++ Prototype

HRESULT In16( short space, long offset, short* pVal16 );

Parameters

space

Specifies the address space.

The following values are legal:

VXI_A16_SPACE	Address the A16 address space of VXI/MXI bus.
VXI_A24_SPACE	Address the A24 address space of VXI/MXI bus.
VXI_A32_SPACE	Address the A32 address space of VXI/MXI bus.

offset

Offset (in bytes) of the address or register from which to read.

pVal16

Data read from bus

Return Value
