tbkSoftTrig
DLL Function int tbkSoftTrig(void);
C tbkSoftTrig(void);
QuickBASIC BtbkSoftTrig% ()
Visual Basic VBtbkSoftTrig% ()
Turbo Pascal tbkSoftTrig:integer;
Parameters None
Returns TerrNoError - No error
See Also tbkSetTrig
Program References
tbkSoftTrig is used to send a software trigger command to the TempBook. This software
trigger can be used to initiate a scan or an acquisition from a program after configuring the software
trigger as the trigger source.
tbkStopBack
DLL Function int tbkStopBack(void);
C tbkStopBack(void);
QuickBASIC BtbkStopBack% ()
Visual Basic VBtbkStopBack% ()
Turbo Pascal tbkStopBack:integer;
Parameters None
Returns TerrNoError - No error
See Also tbkRdNBack, tbkGetBackStat
Program References
tbkStopBack stops a background operation initiated by the tbkRdNBack function.
tbkTCAutoZero
DLL Function tbkTCAutoZero(uint zero);
C tbkTCAutoZero(unsigned zero);
QuickBASIC BtbkTCAutoZero% (ByVal zero%)
Visual Basic VBtbkTCAutoZero% (ByVal zero%)
Turbo Pascal tbkTCAutoZero( zero:word):integer;
Parameters
uint zero If non-zero will enable auto zero compensation in the tbkTC … functions
Returns TerrZCInvParam - Invalid parameter value
TerrNoError - No error
See Also tbkZeroSetup, tbkZeroConvert, tbkZeroSetupConvert, tbkTCSetup, tbkTCConvert,
tbkTcSetupConvert
Program References None
The tbkTCAutoZero function will configure the thermocouple linearization functions to
automatically perform zero compensation. This is the easiest way to use zero compensation with the
TempBook. When enabled, the thermocouple conversion functions will require a CJC zero reading
and a TC zero reading to precede the actual CJC and TC reading.
