AlazarErrorToText

Function Syntax

const char *AlazarErrorToText(RETURN_CODE retCode)

Converts a numerical return code to a NULL terminated string.

Remark

It is often easier to work with a descriptive error name than an error number.

Parameters:

• retCode – [in] Return code from an AlazarTech API function

Returns:

A string containing the identifier name of the error code

580 The operation was cancelled.

enumerator ApiBufferTooSmall

581 The buffer used is too small. Try increasing the buffer size.

enumerator ApiBufferOverflow

582 The board overflowed its internal (on-board) memory. Try reducing the sample rate, reducing the number of enabled channels. Also ensure that DMA buffer size is between 1 MB and 8 MB.

enumerator ApiInvalidRecordsPerBuffer

584 The number of reocrds per buffer passed as argument is invalid.

enumerator ApiNotSupportedInDualChannelMode

591 The requested acquisition is not possible with two channels. This can be due to the sample rate being too fast for DES boards, or to the number of samples per record being too large. Try reducing the number of samples per channel, or switching to single channel mode.
