TempBook User’s Manual daqCommand Reference (Enhanced API) 11-1
Overview
The first part of this chapter describes the TempBook driver commands for Windows95 and WindowsNT in
32-bit Enhanced mode (this is the Enhanced API and is not to be confused with the Standard API). The
first table lists the commands by their function types as defined in the driver header files. Then, the
prototype commands are described in alphabetical order as indexed below. Note: The TempBook API is a
subset of the Daq* API which also applies to other products; only TempBook-related commands are
described here.
Beginning on page 11-35, several reference tables define parameters for: event-handling definitions,
hardware definitions, ADC trigger-source and miscellaneous definitions, WBK card definitions, the API
error codes, etc.
