array generation with ViChar

[FredTest]

I have the following...

void ResistanceMeasure(ViChar *CH)

{

          "resistance setup"

          "resistance measure"

          value = measured;

}

void SafeTest( )

{

          ResistanceMeasure("101");

          OutputResults(value)

          Delay(1);

          ResistanceMeasure("102");

          OutputResults(value)

          Delay(1);

}

I have 50 channels, I know how to do an array with integers, doubles and ect. But how can I do the array with ViChar? That is "101" , "102"..."150"?

ThanksNAdvance!

Hi FredTest,

I'm assume from your question that you want to use a ViChar array to hold strings. ViChar is just like Char, it simply has a VISA wrapper around it. So, just like with Char, you can create an array of ViChars pointers. For instance:

ViChar* channels[50];
channels[0] = "101";
channels[1] = "102";

You can then pass the array as a parameter to your function.

ResistanceMeasure(channels[0]);

In your function ResistanceMeasure, you can then view CH as a character array.
