Return Value
Returns the status code of this operation. The status code either
indicates success or describes an error or warning condition. You
examine the status code from each call to an instrument driver
function to determine if an error occurred.
If the current value of the return buffer, including the terminating
NUL byte, is larger than the size you indicate in the Buffer Size
parameter, the function copies Buffer Size - 1 bytes into the buffer,
places an ASCII NUL byte at the end of the buffer, and returns the
buffer size you must pass to get the entire value. For example, if
the value is "123456" and the Buffer Size is 4, the function places
"123" into the buffer and returns 7.
To obtain a text description of the status code, call the
ciLxs_error_message function. To obtain additional information about
the error condition, call the ciLxs_GetError function. To clear the
error information from the driver, call the ciLxs_ClearError
function.
The general meaning of the status code is as follows:
