Card Attributes
There are various attributes that can be queried from the card such as the Min, Med and Max of all three ranges
as well as precision percentage, precision delta, maximum deviation of every channel and temperatures from the
compensation block.
DWORD l_CardNum;
double attr = 0.0;
void *v;
v = &attr;
err = PIL_GetAttribute(card, 1, 1, ATTR_TS_HIGH_RANGE_PREC_DELTA, v);
//return the high range precision delta.
double temp_value[4];
Status = PIL_GetAttribute(cardNum, subUnit, TRUE, ATTR_TS_TEMPERATURES_C, &temp_value);
//return the temperature in Celsius
Status = PIL_GetAttribute(cardNum, subUnit, TRUE, ATTR_TS_TEMPERATURES_F, &temp_value);
