Stops the timer and sets the time value to zero (0). Timer reading is also stopped.
intm disable(int inst_id);
The instrument ID of timer module (TIMERn).
inst_id
disable (TIMERn) stops the timer and resets the time value to zero (0).
Provides correlation of real time to measurements of voltage, current, conductance,
and capacitance.
int enable(int instr_id);
The instrument ID of timer module (TIMERn).
instr_id
enable (TIMERn) initializes and starts the timer and allows other measurements to
read the timer. The time starts at zero (0) at the time of the enable call.
Causes system to wait for the preceding test sequence to be executed.
int execut(void);
This function will wait for all previous LPT commands to complete and then will issue a
devint.
Programs a sourcing instrument to generate a voltage or current at a specific level.
int forcei(int inst_id, double value);
int forcev(int inst_id, double value);
The instrument identification code. Refer to the instrument
inst_id
documents for the code.
The level of the bipolar voltage or current forced in volts or
value
amperes.
forcev and forcei generate either a positive or negative voltage, as directed by the
sign of the value argument. With both forcev and forcei:
• Positive values generate positive voltage or current from the high terminal of the
source relative to the low terminal.
• Negative values generate negative voltage or current from the high terminal of the
source relative to the low terminal.
When using limitX, rangeX, and forceX on the same source at the same time in a
test sequence, call limitX and rangeX before forceX. See
compliance limits for details.
