How to get customInfo value from range table?

[Marcus3967]

Hi,

How can I get (read) the actual value of
the customInfo field in a range table?

Also I would be interested in a sample code that
shows how to use that value as a format string for
a instrument command.

Thanks in advance,
best regards,

Marcus

i think your talking about the following lines in the ivi.h

typedef struct
    {
    ViInt32                     type;
    ViBoolean                   hasMin;
    ViBoolean                   hasMax;
    ViString                    customInfo;
    IviRangeTableEntry          *rangeValues; 
            /* the end of rangeValues[] is marked by the entry  */
            /* IVI_RANGE_TABLE_LAST_ENTRY                       */
    } IviRangeTable;

Unfortunately the tutorial does not answer my question.

However I could resolve the problem in the meantime.

Just use the following code:

(1) Get address of desired RangeTable
status = Ivi_GetStoredRangeTablePtr (vi,
attributeID,
&tabletest);

(2) Read the customInfo string
custInfo = tabletest->customInfo;

Thanks to all,
Marcus
