Function ziAPIGetComplexData#

ZIResult_enum ziAPIGetComplexData(ZIConnection conn, const char *path, ZIDoubleData *real, ZIDoubleData *imag)#

gets the complex double-type value of the specified node

This function retrieves the numerical value of the specified node as an complex double-type value. The value first found is returned if more than one value is available (a wildcard is used in the path).

Parameters:
  • conn[in] Pointer to ZIConnection with which the value should be retrieved

  • path[in] Path to the node holding the value

  • real[out] Pointer to a double in which the real value should be written

  • imag[out] Pointer to a double in which the imaginary value should be written

Returns:

  • ZI_INFO_SUCCESS on success

  • ZI_ERROR_CONNECTION when the connection is invalid (not connected) or when a communication error occurred

  • ZI_ERROR_LENGTH if the path’s length exceeds MAX_PATH_LEN

  • ZI_ERROR_COMMAND on an incorrect answer of the server

  • ZI_ERROR_SERVER_INTERNAL if an internal error occurred in Data Server

  • ZI_WARNING_NOTFOUND if the given path could not be resolved or no value is attached to the node

  • ZI_ERROR_TIMEOUT when communication timed out

  • Other return codes may also be returned, for a detailed error message use ziAPIGetLastError.
