EX1629 Command Set 177
vtex1629_get_poisson_ratio
FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
ViStatus vtex1629_get_poisson_ratio (ViSession vi, ViInt32 channel, ViPReal64 poissonRatio);
FUNCTION PARAMETERS
vi = contains a session handle to the instrument. This handle is obtained by the function and remains valid until the
session is closed.
channel = an integer input value that specifies the channel for which the Poisson ratio will be returned. Valid input
values: 0 to 47.
poissonRatio = a real return value that indicates the Poisson ratio of the specified channel.
DATA ITEM RESET VALUE
Not applicable to this function.
DESCRIPTION
This function queries and returns the Poisson ratio for a specific channel. This is one of the parameters used in some
strain gage EU conversion calculations.
EXAMPLE
ViSession instrumentHandle;
ViStatus status;
ViReal64 p_ratio;
…
status = vtex1629_get_poisson_ratio(instrumentHandle, 12, &p_ratio);
