VIMeas – Single BDS V & I measurement result.
The BDS produces one of these structures per frequency measurement. These structures are grouped together by
fundamental frequency to compose a complete measurement dataset. The number of measurements reported per
dataset depends on the class-level configuration attributes of the Standard Mode object. Structure size = 25 bytes.

Current Attn
USINT
Current channel attenuation used (in dB). Value
range 0-30dB.
4
Frequency
UDINT
Estimated fundamental frequency value in Hz.
Value range: 1-499,999,999Hz in 8-bit ADC mode,
1-99,999,999Hz in 12-bit mode. 0 is an invalid
frequency.

Current
REAL
Current magnitude (in Firms).
13
Phase
REAL
Phase between voltage and current channels in
radians. Always between
-PI and +PI.
17
Relative
Phase
REAL
