Syntax
Term INT WINAPI Term(DevHandleT devHandle,
TermT *term,DWORD termFlag);
TermQuery INT TermQuery(DevHandleT devHandle,
TermT *term,INT termFlag);
TimeOut INT WINAPI TimeOut(DevHandleT devHandle,
DWORD millisec);
TimeOutQuery INT WINAPI TimeOutQuery(DevHandleT devHandle,
DWORD *millisec);
Usage Notes
These four IOtech commands are not used with MCC API.
Term - was used to set the end-of-line (EOL) terminators for input from and output to I/O
adapter devices.
TermQuery - queried the terminators setting.
TimeOut - was used to set the number of milliseconds that Driver488 would wait for a
transfer, before declaring a timeout error. The timeout value set a limit on the total time
allowed for an operation.
TimeOutQuery - queried the timeout setting, given in milliseconds.
Similar functionality can only be achieved by coding efforts, of such magnitude, that they are
beyond the scope of this document.
