IMX.Open()

Type: INSTANCE FUNCTION

Purpose: Acquires the use of an IMX8.

The IMX8 associated with the IMX object must be connected and operational when this function is called.

This function must be called prior to calling any other IMX object functions.

IMX.Open() also initializes the IMX8 hardware to the following settings:

• All channels are turned off.
• The off mode for all channels is set to open.
• All channel DACs are set to 0.000 volts.

IMX.Open(false) initializes the IMX8 hardware without changing the above settings.

IMX.Open() can fail for a variety of reasons. These include:

• Invalid IMXNumber setting.
• IMX8 not configured in Gamry.ini file.
• IMX8 not operational (power must be on).
• USB communications failed (no cable etc.).

Usage: Status = IMX.Open()
