Function SpcGetParam
The function SpcGetParam reads out software registers or status information. The board must first be initialized. The available software re-
gisters for the driver are listed in the board specific part of the documentation below.
The value „nr“ contains the index of the board that you want to access, the value „reg“ is the register that has to be read out and the value
„value“ is a pointer to a value that should contain the read parameter after function call. The function will return an error value in case of
malfunction.
Function SpcGetParam:
Function SpcSetData
Writes data to the board for a specific memory channel. The board must first be initialized. The value „nr“ contains the index of the board
that you want to access, the „ch“ parameter contains the memory channel. „start“ and „len“ define the position of data to be written. „data“
is a pointer to the array holding the data. The function will return an error value in case of malfunction.
Function SpcSetData:
It is necessary to select the function with the matching data width from the above mentioned data write func-
tions. Use the SpcSetData8 function for boards with 8 bit resolution and use the SpcSetData16 function for
boards with 12, 14 and 16 bit resolution.
This function is only available on generator or i/o boards. The function is not available on acquisition boards.
Function SpcGetData
Reads data from the board from a specific memory channel. The board must first be initialized. The value „nr“ contains the index of the board
that you want to access, the „ch“ parameter contains the memory channel. „start“ and „len“ define the position of data to be read. „data“
is a pointer to the array that should hold the data. The function will return an error value in case of malfunction.
Function SpcGetData:
It is necessary to select the function with the matching data width from the above mentioned data read func-
tions. Use the SpcGetData8 function for boards with 8 bit resolution and use the SpcGetData16 function for
boards with 12, 14 and 16 bit resolution.
This function is only available on acquisition or i/o boards. The function is not available on generator boards.
