HP34401A Find Range

Takes a given value and determines if the value belongs to a specified array of discrete numbers. If the value is not part of a specified array, HP34401A Find Range coerces it to the next highest value. If the value is greater than the highest value in the specified array, this VI coerces it to the greatest value in the array. This VI performs no Instrument I/O operations.

VISA session is a unique reference to an instrument I/O session. It identifies which device to communicate with and all configuration information to perform the I/O. A VISA session is a unique logical identifier used by VISA to communicate with a resource. The VISA session is maintained by the VISA resource name control and is not seen by the user.
Number to Range is the value to be checked against the values in the Numeric Data array. Valid range: any integer or real number.
Numeric Data is a numeric string that contains the discrete values checked by the function to validate the number that is being checked. Valid range: string numbers separated by spaces or commas.
error in describes error conditions that occur before this VI or function runs. The default is no error. If an error occurred before this VI or function runs, the VI or function passes the error in value to error out. This VI or function runs normally only if no error occurs before this VI or function runs. If an error occurs while this VI or function runs, it runs normally and sets its own error status in error out. Use the Simple Error Handler or General Error Handler VIs to display the description of the error code. Use error in and error out to check errors and to specify execution order by wiring error out from one node to error in of the next node.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI or function ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI or function ran. The default is FALSE.
code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
dup VISA session is a copy of VISA session. Use dup VISA session programmatically to pass VISA Session to any calling VIs.
Range Found indicates whether the Number to Range was found or coerced. Valid output range: T: green, F: red (default).
Ranged Number is the number passed out of the VI. If no string of numbers is entered into Numeric Data, this number is zero (0.0000000000). Otherwise, it is the number entered or a coerced value.
Index represents the index for the string value where either the Number to Range was found or the value to which it was coerced. If no string of numbers is entered into the Numeric Data control, this value is NaN.
error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI or function ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI or function produces. Right-click the error out indicator on the front panel and select Explain Error from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred.
code is the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.
source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI or function that produced the error or warning.
