Specifies the USB TC-08 unit.
Pointer to an array of length [9]. There are 9
channels on the USB TC-08 (8 + cold junction) and
the readings are always placed in the array
subscript corresponding to the channel number.
Channels which are not enabled are filled with
QNaN values.
Pointer to a variable containing a set of bit flags
that are set high when an overflow occurs on a
particular channel. An overflow occurs when the
input signal is higher than the measuring range of
the USB TC-08.
The lowest significant bit (bit 0) represents channel
0 (the cold juction channel) and bit 8 represents
channel 8 (the last thermocouple channel). Bitwise
comparisons should be performed to determine the
overflow state of each channel.
Specifies the temperature units for returned data:
0: USBTC08_UNITS_CENTIGRADE
1: USBTC08_UNITS_FAHRENHEIT
2: USBTC08_UNITS_KELVIN
3: USBTC08_UNITS_RANKINE
An error occurred, use
