23.1 Functions and Their Functionalities - DARWIN/

C# -

This section indicates functions that this extension API supports.

Note

This extension 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 given. 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 commands, see the Communication
Interface User’s Manual.

There are two types of functions, status transition functions and retrieval functions.

Status transition functions control DARWIN.
With retrieval functions, the parameter values of the current status are retrieved.

When using retrieval functions, the data value of the stored current status is
returned (the status of the extension API does not change).
