age1439_fiber_verify
This function verifies the operational condition of the fiber interface.
VXIplug&play Syntax
Description
This function performs a verification of the fiber interface using either an internal or an external
signal path. The internal signal path cannot test the actual RX/TX ports but does test the internal
connections of the fiber interface to the rest of the module. The external signal path does test the
RX/TX ports but requires connecting an optical short between the RX and TX fiber ports.
Note
No fiber optic cables should be connected or disconnected during verification.
Parameter
id is the VXI instrument session pointer returned by the age1439_init function.
verifyPath indicates which path, internal or external, is being tested by age1439_fiber_verify.
AGE1439_FIBER_VERIFY_INTERNAL

Return Value
AGE1439_SUCCESS indicates that a function was successful.
Values other than AGE1439_SUCCESS indicate an error condition or other important status
condition. To determine the error message, pass the return value to
