Queries the value of a ViInt32 attribute. Use this function to get the values of digital pattern instrument-specific attributes and inherent IVI attributes.
C Function Prototype: ViStatus niDigital_GetAttributeViInt32 (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelList, ViAttr attribute, viInt32* value)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| vi | The specified instrument session the niDigital_init or niDigital_InitWithOptions function returns. |
| channelList |
List of channel names or list of pins. Do not pass a mix of channel names and pin names. An empty string denotes all digital pattern instrument channels. Pin names and pin groups apply to all enabled sites, unless the pin name explicitly specifies the site. You can specify a pin in a specific site using the form siteN/pinName, where N is the site number. This function ignores pins that are not mapped to the digital pattern instrument. Specify channel names using the form PXI1Slot3/0,2-3 or PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3, where PXI1Slot3 is the instrument resource name and 0, 2, 3 are channel names. To specify channels from multiple instruments, use the form PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3,PXI1Slot4/2-3. The instruments must be in the same chassis. |
| attribute | The ID of an attribute. |
| Output | |
| value | The returned current value of the attribute; pass the address of a ViInt32 variable. |
Return value: Reports the status of the operation.

Queries the value of a ViString attribute. Use this function to get the values of digital pattern instrument-specific attributes and inherent IVI attributes.
You must provide a ViChar array to serve as a buffer for the value. You pass the number of bytes in the buffer as the bufferSize. If the current value of the attribute, including the terminating NULL byte, is larger than the size you indicate in the bufferSize, the function copies (bufferSize - 1) bytes into the buffer, places an ASCII NULL byte at the end of the buffer, and returns the bufferSize you must pass to get the entire value. For example, if the value is "123456" and the bufferSize is 4, the function places "123" into the buffer and returns 7. If you want to call this function just to get the required buffer size, you can pass 0 for the bufferSize and VI_NULL for the value.
