SendGetProcess

Parameters: 16 Bit Integer.
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.

SendGetProcess is used to get a Process’ parameters from the unit. The
Processr number (1-25) is passed to the function. This function must precede the
use of GetProcess.

GetProcess

Parameters: Pointer to a Process Structure.
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.

GetProcess is used to retrieve a Process’ parameters (requested by
SendGetProcess). The parameters are passed through the Process Structure.

Example:

ReturnVal = SendGetProcess(ProcessNum)

tell to transfer Process#

do while(ChkCommDone == -1)

wait for comm to finish

ReturnVal = GetProcess(&ProcessStruct)

contains Process info

SetLayer

Parameters: Layer # (16 Bit Integer), Pointer to a Layer Structure.
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.

SetLayer is used to set a Layer’s parameters in the unit. All of the parameters
are passed to the function through the Layer Structure.

Example:

ReturnVal = SetLayer(1, &LayerStruct)

set Layer 1 parameters

do while(ChkCommDone == -1)

wait for comm to finish

SendGetLayer

Parameters: 16 Bit Integer.
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.

SendGetLayer is used to get a Layer’s parameters from the unit. The Layer
number (1-99) is passed to the function. This function must precede the use of
GetLayer.
