Functions and Their Functionalities - DARWIN/
Visual C -

This section indicates the correspondence between the functionalities that the API

supports and the C functions.

Note

This API provides a portion of the functions common to the DARWIN series
instruments. Model-specific functions, setup functions of the setup mode, and A/D
calibration functions are not implemented. The functions can be added by using the
commands of the DARWIN communication function.

The word “command”in the table signifies the command of the DARWIN
communication function. For the details on the command, see the Communication

Interface User’s Manual.
