Universal Library Virtual Instruments (VIs) Counter VIs
CLoad32.VI
Loads the specified counter’s COUNT, PRESET or PRESCALER register with a count.
Summary:
Inputs: BoardNum [U32] - The board number assigned when installed with InstaCal. Can
be 0 to 100.
RegName [U32] - Register to load LoadValue into.
LoadValue [U32] - Value to be loaded into RegName .
Outputs: BoardNum [U32] The board number assigned when installed with InstaCal. Can be
0 to 100. Can be used to pass BoardNum parameter to another VI.
ErrCode [U32] - Error code. See ErrMsg.VI
Arguments:
BoardNum The board number associated with a board when it was installed with InstaCal.
RegName The register to load the value into. Valid register names are:
LOADREG1 .. 20 : Load registers 1 through 20. This may span several chips.
HOLDREG1 .. 20 : Hold registers 1 through 20. This may span several chips. (9513
only)
ALARM1CHIP1 : Alarm register 1 of the first counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM2CHIP1 : Alarm register 2 of the first counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM1CHIP2 : Alarm register 1 of the second counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM2CHIP2 : Alarm register 2 of the second counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM1CHIP3 : Alarm register 1 of the third counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM2CHIP3 : Alarm register 2 of the third counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM1CHIP4 : Alarm register 1 of the four counter chip. (9513 only)
ALARM2CHIP4 : Alarm register 2 of the four counter chip. (9513 only)
COUNT1 ... 4 : Current Count (LS7266 only)
PRESET1 ... 4 : Preset register (LS7266 only)
PRESCALER1 ... 4 : Prescaler register (LS7266 only)
LoadValue The value to be loaded.
BoardNum (Out) The board number used when installed with InstaCal. This parameter can be used
to serialize VIs such that this VI precedes the next VI whose BoardNum is attached
to this output.
ErrCode Error code returned from the Universal Library. Zero if no error occurred. Use the
ErrMsg VI to convert ErrCode into a readable string.
Notes:
CLoad.VI vs. CLoad32.VI: Although the CLoad.VI and CLoad32.VI perform the same operation,
CLoad32.VI is the preferred function to use.
The only difference between the two is that CLoad.VI loads a 16-bit count value and CLoad32.VI loads a 32-
bit value. Both CLoad.VI and CLoad32.VI can be used, but CLoad32.VI is required whenever you need to
load count values greater than 16 bits (counts > 65535).
