Testing Function Calls
Introduction
Both the DOS API and the Windows NT API come with a utility program called
api_test.exe . This interactive program lets you execute, from the keyboard,
every API call for the 1746 I/O PCI Interface. Use the source code of the utility
program, along with the executable program, to test different argument values for
each function call and to verify correct scanner operation.
Another DOS utility program called ocdiag.exe comes with the 1746 I/O PCI
Interface hardware. Use this utility program to verify:
•
hardware operation
•
scanner functionality
•
I/O control
The Windows NT utility program is oc_nt.exe . To get a copy of this utility:
•

Use the -d option when executing the self-unzipping file so that you preserve
subdirectory structures.
