MDC-260 DEPOSITION CONTROLLER
COMPUTER INTERFACE 11-5
SI_Write
Description: Writes the specified number of bytes from the specified buffer to
the MDC-260. Given valid parameters, this function is blocking
until the write is successful, fails or a timeout occurs. The write
is successful when the MDC-260 has accepted all of the data. If
the write fails or a timeout occurs, SI_WRITE_ERROR is
returned.
Prototype: SI_STATUS SI_Write (HANDLE Handle, LPVOID
Buffer, DWORD NumBytesToWrite, DWORD
*NumBytesWritten)
Parameters: 1. Handle – Handle to the MDC-260 to write as returned by
SI_Open.
2.
Buffer – Address of a character buffer of data to be sent to the
MDC-260.
3.
NumBytesToWrite – Number of bytes to write to the MDC-
260.
4.
NumBytesWritten – Address of DWORD which will contain
the number of bytes actually written to the MDC-260.
Return Value: SI_STATUS = SI_SUCCESS (0x00) or
SI_WRITE_ERROR (0x04) or
SI_INVALID_REQUEST_LENGTH
(0x07)
SI_INVALID_PARAMETER (0x06) or
SI_INVALID_HANDLE (0x01)
SI_SetTimeouts
Description: Sets the read and write timeouts.
Prototype: SI_STATUS SI_SetTimeouts (DWORD
ReadTimeout, DWORD WriteTimeout)
Parameters: 1. ReadTimeout – SI_Read operation timeout (in milliseconds).
2. WriteTimeout – SI_Write operation timeout (in milliseconds).
Return Value: SI_STATUS = SI_SUCCESS (0x00)
