Function Library 123
6.2 C/C++ Programming Library
This section details all the functions. The function prototypes and
some common data types are declared in PCI-8102.H . We sug-
gest you use these data types in your application programs. The
following table shows the data type names and their range.
The functions of the 8102’s software drivers use full-names to rep-
resent the functions real meaning. The naming convention rules
are:
In a ‘C’ programming environment:
_{hardware_model}_{action_name}. e.g. _8102_Initial().
In order to recognize the difference between a C library and a VB
library, a capital “B” is placed at the beginning of each function
name e.g. B_8102_Initial().
