int getInParameter (unsigned char *val, int index, char* ErrMsg, unsigned short
*len, BOOL TCP);

Description

There are XTC3_NUM_OF_INPUTS Inputs in the XTC/3 instrument. Each
relay and TTL can be programmed to react to a certain event. This function will
get an Input event. See the User’s Guide document for event numbers and
descriptions.

Arguments

unsigned char *val:

This byte will be filled with the value of the event at an Input from the XTC/3
instrument.

int index:

The Input number (1 byte, 1 to XTC3_NUM_OF_INPUTS)

char* ErrMsg

BOOL TCP

Example

#include "XTC3Lib.h"
void main()
{

if(StartSocket()==0)

printf("Socket could not be initialized.");

if(!ConnectSocket("10.211.70.209"))

printf("Socket could not be connected!");

char ErrStr[256];
memset(ErrStr,0,256);
unsigned char val = 0;
unsigned short len = 0;
getInParameter (&val, 5, ErrStr, &len, TRUE);
if(*ErrStr == 0)
{

printf("The value of Input %d is %d\n",5,val);
printf("Data Transfer successful\n");

}
