AlazarReadEx

Function Syntax

U32 AlazarReadEx(HANDLE handle, U32 channelId, void *buffer, int elementSize, long record, INT64 transferOffset, U32 transferLength)

Read all or part of a record from an acquisition to on-board memory from on-board memory to a buffer in hsot memory. The record may be longer than 2 billion samples.

Use

AlazarRead() or AlazarReadEx() to transfer records with less than 2 billion samples. Use AlazarReadEx() to transfer records with more than 2 billion samples.

Return

ApiSuccess upon success, or an error code. See RETURN_CODE for more detailed information.

Note

AlazarReadEx() is part of the single-port data acquisition API. It cannot be used with the dual-port AutoDMA APIs.

Remark

AlazarReadEx() can transfer segments of a record to on-board memory. This may be useful if a full record is too large to transfer as a single block, or if only part of a record is of interest.

Parameters

• [in] handle: Handle to board

• [in] channelId: channel identifier of record to read

• [out] buffer: Buffer to receive sample data

• [in] elementSize: number of bytes per sample

• [in] record: record in on-board memory to transfer to buffer (1-indexed).

• [in] transferOffset: The offset in samples from the trigger position in the record of the first sample in the record in on-board memory to transfer to the buffer

• [in] transferLength: The number of samples to transfer from the record in on-board memory to the buffer.
