• Retrieval of transmission output data
Data that indicates the AO/PWM channel transmission status.
When data is retrieved, it indicates the status of the current transmission output.
When data is sent, it is the specification that controls the start and stop of the
transmission output.
Control Functions
• Date/time setting
• Setting of the backup function that saves the measured data to the CF
card, and formatting of the CF card
• Initialization and reconfiguration of the system (unit)
• Resetting of alarms (acknowledge alarm)
• Designation of the information displayed on the 7-segment LED
Utilities
Provides functions for converting measured values into character strings, retrieving
error message strings, and other utility functions.
Functions for DARWIN
The API provides functions that are equivalent to the DARWIN communication
functions. Some of the basic functions of the DARWIN communication functions are
provided as API classes (for Visual C++) or functions (for Visual Basic, Visual C,
Visual Basic.NET, and C#). Other functions can be implemented using the
commands of the DARWIN communication function.
Functions Provided by this Software
• Communication Functions
Functions used to communicate with DARWIN via the Ethernet interface.
• Setup Functions
Sets the measurement range and alarms.
• Data Retrieval Functions
• Retrieval of the measured data
Retrieves measured data in ASCII or binary format. The values are instantaneous
values.
