Name
GatheringDataMultipleLinesGet – Reads several data lines from the current gathering
buffer in memory.
Input tests
- Refer to section 7.1: “Input Tests Common to all XPS Functions”.
- Checks index number: (-17)
• IndexPoint ≥ 0 (Note: index #0 = line #1)
• IndexPoint <currently gathered data number.
- Checks gathering state: (-32)
Description
This function reads one or several data lines from the current gathering buffer. The
buffer line number is defined by the index of an acquired point.
The separator is “;” in the returned data line and the end of each line is carriage return
“\n”.
Gathering must be configured in order to use this function, otherwise (-32) error is
returned.
