• Retrieval of setup data
Retrieves the setup data of the operation mode, basic setting mode, and A/D
calibration mode.
• Retrieval of channel information data (channel number, etc.)
• Control Functions
• Date/time setting
• Reconfiguring the system
• RAM clear (initialization of operation mode parameters)
• Alarm reset
• Setting mode switching
• Utilities
Provides functions for converting measured values into character strings, retrieving

Implementing Functions Corresponding to the Commands of the DARWIN
Communication Function
Functions corresponding to commands of the DARWIN communication function can
be implemented according to the procedure below.
• Visual C++: Create an inheritance class of CDAQDARWIN and add member
functions that execute the commands of the DARWIN communication function
using the runCommand member function.
• Visual C and Visual Basic: Create functions that execute the commands of the
DARWIN communication function using the runCommandDARWIN function.
• Visual Basic.NET/C#: Create functions that execute the commands of the
DARWIN communication function using the runCommandDA100 function of the
extension API.
Notes
• The user program needs to be recompiled and re-linked because the structure
and other aspects of the API R3.01 were changed.
