SetDACTrackScale

Set a DAC output to track scale weight, or not track.

int SetDACTrackScale(int dev, uint8 scale, DACTrackGrossNet grossnet, int wait);

Parameters

• dev - number of DAC card.
• scale - scale number to track, or 0 for tracking totalizer weight
• grossnet - track dacTrackGross (track scale gross weight) dacTrackNet (track scale net weight)
• wait - WAIT_ACK Wait for acknowledgement, NO_WAIT_ACK do not wait for acknowledgement

Return Value

• Returns the result - OK success (If WAIT_ACK may be TIMEOUT)

Remarks

The option card must already be opened by calling OpenMnBd(dev) first. If the application is using main board communication events these events may be called during the wait for acknowledgement.

Examples

   int dac = 1; // number of dac card - not number of slot
   int scale = 1;
   DACTrackGrossNet grossnet = dacTrackGross;

   if(SetDACTrackGrossNet(dac, scale, grossnet, WAIT_ACK) != OK)
   {
       DisplayText(0, 0, "SetDACTrackGrossNet Error");
   }

// Set DAC 1 and 2 to track scale 1
int n;
int scale = 1;
for(n = 1; n <= 2; n++)
{
   SetDACReg(n, dacAD5422Control, 0x3FF0 | dacRange0_10V, WAIT_ACK);
   SetDACTrackScale(n, scale, dacTrackGross, WAIT_ACK);
   SetDACFloat(n, dacLowWeight, 0.0, WAIT_ACK);
   SetDACFloat(n, dacHighWeight, 10000.0, WAIT_ACK);
   SetDACFloat(n, dacMaxOutput, 10.0, WAIT_ACK);
}
