serialpoll for LockIn Amplifier

[Igor345]

Hello,

I just started new C# project for communication with LockIn amplifier SR 830. Before I used C++ and ni4882 dll and everything was OK. To make sure that the LockIn is finished the previous command I simply used the following part of my code:

char serPoll;

do

{

      ibrsp(handle, &serPoll);

} while ((serPoll & 2) == 0);

How to realize the same loop in C#, using NationalInstruments.NI4882. Can I use for it SerialPoll function?

Thank you very much in advance

Igor

Hi Igor,

From my understanding, if you look at the Language Interface: 32-bit Microsoft Visual C/C++ in the Developer Zone at ni.com you should find two examples that do GPIB serial polling for a couple of instruments. While these examples use C/C++ as opposed to C#, this might give you an idea on how to setup your code.

Thank you very much, I already found a solution.
