14.1 Functions and Their Functionalities - MX100/
Visual Basic -
This section indicates the correspondence between the functionalities that the
extension API supports and the Visual Basic functions.
There are two types, status transition functions and retrieval functions.
Status transition functions control the MX100. When using status transition
functions, if measured data is retrieved with a data retrieval function, the measured
data increments by only 1 (the status of the extension API changes).
The retrieval function returns the parameter value. When data is retrieved, the data
value of the current status is returned (the status of the extension API does not
change).
Status Transition Functions
The FIFO column in the table indicates the FIFO operation when the function is
executed while FIFO is running.
Stop: Stops the FIFO when the function is executed.
Continue: Continues the FIFO even when the function is executed.
