API Commands, Grouped by Function
Many API commands cannot be used universally across all products. For example, a command
that pertains only to analog output is of no use to a device that does not support analog I/O.
Thus it is important to understand the features and capabilities of your hardware before using
API Commands. Prior awareness can save a great deal of programming time and sidestep
possible frustration.
