WINDAQ Active X Control

Description:

Returns the engineering unit tag applied to the specified channel.

The channel is the logical channel in the index on the channel list, not the physical channel. For example, if the channel list is 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, and you want the calibrated engineering units specified in channel 8, you would set the channel argument of GetUnit to 2. If you want the calibrated engineering units specified in channel 1, you would set the channel argument of GetUnit to 0.

Syntax:

variable=WinDaq1.GetUnit(Channel) (where Channel is the logical channel in the index on the channel list)

Variable:

String

Example:

Private Sub Stop_Click()

WinDaq1. Stop

End Sub

Private Sub Start_Click()

WinDaq1. EventLevel = 10

WinDaq1. Start

End Sub

Private Sub WinDaq1_ NewData(ByVal Count As Integer)

DQChart1. Chart (WinDaq1. GetDataStream(FormatBinary))

'this gets information associated with the first channel

Label1.Caption = "The latest reading is " & Format(WinDaq1. GetScaledData(0), "0.00") & WinDaq1.GetUnit(0)

End Sub
