Passing AWG Table from XL Vb to dll

Post by RussellA »

ref SetSigGenArbitrary

Hoping someone can help me here ..!
Have the AWG data in XL and can pull it into a 1d Array.
How do you define the function call / pointer "* arbitraryWaveform" to pass the data (waveform table) through the dll ?

Many Thanks,
A.

You will need to save the data as a file, then read the file into the buffer...

waveformSize = 0;
printf("Select a waveform file to load: ");
scanf("%s", fileName);
if ((fp = fopen(fileName, "r"))) // read in data - one number per line
{
while (EOF != fscanf(fp, "%hi", (arbitraryWaveform + waveformSize))&& waveformSize++ < 8192);
fclose(fp);
printf("File successfully loaded\n");
}
else
{
printf("Invalid filename\n");
return;
}


The number of lines & values used will vary
i.e. for 4000 series: max 8192 lines, values 0..4095
for 2000 series: max 4094 lines, values 0..255
