Parameters
| Name | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
vi |
IN |
Unique logical identifier to a session. |
|
space |
IN |
Specifies the address space. Refer to the table included in the Description section for more information. |
|
offset |
IN |
Offset (in bytes) of the address or register to which to write. For viOutXX() operations, this is a 32-bit value for 32-bit applications and a 64-bit value for 64-bit applications. For viOutXXEx() operations, this is always a 64-bit value. |
|
val8, val16, val32, or val64 |
IN |
Data to write to bus (8 bits for viOut8[Ex](), 16 bits for viOut16[Ex](), 32 bits for viOut32[Ex](), and 64 bits for viOut64[Ex]()). |
Return Values
| Completion Codes |
Description |
|---|---|
|
VI_SUCCESS |
Operation completed successfully. |
| Error Codes | Description |
|---|---|
|
VI_ERROR_INV_OBJECT |
The given session reference is invalid. |
|
VI_ERROR_NSUP_OPER |
The given vi does not support this operation. |
|
VI_ERROR_RSRC_LOCKED |
Specified operation could not be performed because the resource identified by vi has been locked for this kind of access. |
|
VI_ERROR_BERR |
Bus error occurred during transfer. |
|
VI_ERROR_INV_SPACE |
Invalid address space specified. |
|
VI_ERROR_INV_OFFSET |
Invalid offset specified. |
|
VI_ERROR_NSUP_OFFSET |
Specified offset is not accessible from this hardware. |
|
VI_ERROR_NSUP_WIDTH |
Specified width is not supported by this hardware. |
|
VI_ERROR_NSUP_ALIGN_OFFSET |
The specified offset is not properly aligned for the access width of the operation. |
|
VI_ERROR_INV_SETUP |
Unable to start operation because setup is invalid (due to attributes being set to an inconsistent state). |
Description
The viOutXX[Ex]() operations use the specified address space to write 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits of data, respectively, from the specified offset. These operations do not require viMapAddress() to be called prior to their invocation.
The following table lists the valid entries for specifying address space.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
|
VXI, VME, and GPIB-VXI |
VI_A16_SPACE (1) |
|
PXI INSTR |
VI_PXI_CFG_SPACE (10) |
|
PXI MEMACC |
VI_PXI_ALLOC_SPACE (9) |
|
FireWire INSTR |
VI_FIREWIRE_DFLT_SPACE (5) |
 |
Note viOut8 and viOut16 do not support FireWire INSTR. |
INSTR Specific
Notice that the offset parameter to these operations for an INSTR Resource is the offset address relative to the device's allocated address base for the corresponding address space that was specified. For example, if space specifies VI_A16_SPACE, then offset specifies the offset from the logical address base address of the specified VXI device. If space specifies VI_A24_SPACE or VI_A32_SPACE, then offset specifies the offset from the base address of the VXI device's memory space allocated by the VXI Resource Manager within VXI A24 or A32 space.
To specify the full 48-bit offset for these methods on a FireWire INSTR session, a call to viSetAttribute using VI_ATTR_FIREWIRE_DEST_UPPER_OFFSET is needed prior to calling these methods. Subsequent calls to viSetAttribute are needed only if the upper 16 bits of the FireWire offset change.
MEMACC Specific
For a MEMACC Resource, the offset parameter specifies an absolute address.
