Enum Member Editor

Name

Name of the enum member. This name corresponds to the IVI-C macro name used in the <prefix>.h #define statement, except that the driver prefix and VAL are excluded. Attribute names consist only of capital letters, numbers, and the underscore character and must start with a capital letter.

Value

The numeric value of the enum member value macro used in the <prefix>.h #define statement.

Display

Display name that will be used to identify the enum member in function panel controls.

Command

Specifies the string that should be sent to the instrument when this value is used in a function or attribute as part of an automatically formatted instrument command. The string specified here is also used to translate instrument responses received from the instrument back to this numeric value.

The value configured here is used in building the enum macro map maintained in the driver project's Enums.h file. The enum macro map generates translation code that Nimbus uses in providing command formatting services within automatically implemented functions and attributes.

Additional Responses

In some cases, an instrument may define more than one string that corresponds to the same logical response. In these cases, the Additional Responses textbox can be used to specify a comma-separated list of strings that should also be mapped to this numeric value.
