Introduction

The GX6188 driver functions reference section is organized in alphabetical order. Each function is presented starting with the syntax of the function, a short description of the function parameters description and type followed by a Comments, an Example (written in C), and a See Also sections.

All function parameters follow the same rules:

●        Strings are ASCIIZ (null or zero character terminated).

●        Most function’s first parameter is nHandle (16-bit integer). This parameter is required for operating the board and is returned by the Gx6188Initialize or the Gx6188InitializeVisa functions. The nHandle is used to identify the board when calling a function for programming and controlling the operation of that board.

●        All functions return a status with the last parameter named pnStatus. The pnStatus is zero if the function was successful, or less than a zero on error. The description of the error is available using the GxSWGetErrorString function or by using a predefined constant, defined in the driver interface files such as  GXSW.CS, GXSW.H, GXSW.VB, the ATEasy GX6188 driver and more.

●        Parameter name are prefixed as follows:
