pnMasterHandle	PSHORT	Returned Master handle, 0 for error.
pnStatus	PSHORT	Returned status: 0 on success, negative number on failure.

Comments

The DioInitialize can be used to initialize the DIO system configuration (Master and Slave boards) with one command. The required parameters (base address, density and banks) are taken from the last configuration set by one of the following:

· A previous call to DioSetupInitialization.

· DioPanel configure push button.

· GTDIO.INI file.

The function calls DioSetupInitialization for the Master and its Slaves.

The pnMasterHandle should be used in all subsequent calls to the driver library.

Example

The following example initializes a Master board and ARM it:

SHORT nStatus, nMasterHandle;

DioInitialize (1, &nMasterHandle, &nStatus);

DioArm(&nMasterHandle, &nStatus);
