5.3 _8554_Initial
@ Description
The cPCI/PCI-8554/R cards are initialized by this function. The
software library could be used to control multiple cPCI/PCI-8554/R
cards. Because the cPCI/PCI-8554/R is designed with the PCI bus
architecture and meets the plug and play specifications, the IRQ
and I/O address are assigned by system BIOS directly.
@ Syntax
C/C++ (DOS)
U16 _8554_Initial (U16 *existCards, PCI_INFO *pciinfo)
C/C++ (Windows 95)
U16 W_8554_Initial (U16 *existCards, PCI_INFO *pciinfo)
Visual Basic (Windows 95)
W_8554_Initial (existCards As Integer, pciInfo As PCI_INFO) As
Integer
@ Arguments
existCards: The numbers of installed cPCI/PCI-8554/R cards.
The returned value shows how many cPCI/PCI-
8554/R cards are installed in the system.
pciinfo: This structure stores the PCI bus plug and play
initialization information, which is determined by
PnP BIOS. The PCI_INFO structure is defined
in the PCI_8554.H header file. The base I/O
address and the interrupt channel number is
stored in pciinfo for reference.
@ Return Value
ERR_NoError, ERR_PCIBiosNotExist
