Reading Config Values

Hi:

If I wanted to read the current setting of AutoPoll, how do you do that?
ibConfig() only seems to set the values and there does not seem to be a
global variable that I can read the existing values from. Did I miss
something?

Thanks, Chris.

Chris,

I believe ibask will accomplish your task. One of the options is ibaAUTOPOLL, which will return a zero or one indicating the state of the AutoPoll. You can find more information on this function and others in the NI-488.2 Function Reference Manual.
