SetCfg.VI
Sets a configuration option for a board. The configuration information for all boards is stored in the CB.CFG
file. All programs that use the library read this file. This function can be used to override the configuration
information stored in the CB.CFG file.
Summary:
Inputs: BoardNum [U32] - The board number assigned when installed with InstaCal. Can
be 0 to 100.
InfoType [I32] - Specifies which configuration item you wish to retrieve.
DevNum [I32] - Specifies the board device.
ConfigItem [I32] - Specifies the configuration item to set.
ConfigVal [I32] - Set ConfigItem to this value.
Output: ErrCode - Error code. See ErrMsg.VI
Arguments:
BoardNum The board number associated with a board when it was installed with InstaCal.
InfoType The configuration information for each board is grouped into different categories.
This argument specifies which category you want. It should be set to one of the
following constants:
GLOBALINFO - Information about the configuration file.
BOARDINFO - general information about a board.
DIGITALINFO - information about a digital device.
COUNTERINFO - information about a counter device.
EXPANSIONINFO - information about an expansion device.
MISCINFO - One of the miscellaneous options for the board.
DevNum Selects a particular device. If InfoType = DIGITALINFO then DevNum specifies
which of the board's digital devices you want to set information on. If InfoType =
COUNTERINFO then DevNum specifies which of the board's counter devices.
ConfigItem Specifies the configuration item you want to set.
The ConfigItem value depends on the InfoType value. Refer to the "Notes" section
for a list of all possible values for ConfigItem .
ConfigVal The value to set the specified configuration item to.
