Sundance SMT6025 v.2.9 - Manual (Page 12)

Version 2.9 Page 12 of 45 SMT6025 User Manual
9 Software design
9.1 Interface mechanism
The design makes use of a C++ style interface pointer to the hardware.
SmtDrv.dll exports functions that gather information about the installed boards
and provide an interface pointer for later use.
To use the SMT6025, you need to:
• Obtain an interface pointer to the hardware by calling SmtOpenBoard().
• Use the interface pointer to call functions related to the hardware.
Example:
IFHw *pBoard = SmtOpenBoard(0); // open the first board found
pBoard->ResetTIMs();
pBoard->BinaryLoad("MyFile.app");
