Definition

---

NMX_STATUS NMX_GetChannelCount_1(

 NMX_PHANDLE pHandle,

 unsigned long* pulChannelCount,

 unsigned long* pulNDigitalInputBytes,

 unsigned long* pulNDigitalOutputBytes);

 

Parameter

---

pHandle

Connection Handle.

pulChannelCount

Number of measurement channels, which the system has.

pulNDigitalInputBytes

Number of digital input bytes, which the system has.
(= Number of digital inputs / 8)

pulNDigitalOutputBytes

NMX_GetChannelCount_1(pHandle, &ulChannelCount, &ulNDigiInBytes, &ulNDigiOutBytes);

 

.Net DLL specific implementation

---

NMX_MSTATUS GetChannelCount_1(

                 System::IntPtr pHandle,

                 System::UInt32 %pulChannelCount,

                 System::UInt32 %pulNDigitalInputBytes,

                 System::UInt32 %pulNDigitalOutputBytes);
