8-2 BIOS Configuration Application Programming Interfaces
Summary of Functions
A summary of functions you should be familiar with to use this API is given below:
• BiosSetupStart
This function initializes the API. This function must be called before any other functions in this API
can be called.
• BiosSetupEnd
Applications which use this API must call this function to close the API before the application exits.
• BiosSetupGet
This function retrieves BIOS settings for a BIOS option that you specify.
• BiosSetupSet
This function sets the BIOS setting that you specify.

• BiosSetupGetLCDType
This function determines what type of LCD the pen tablet has. (It may be desirable to determine the
LCD type before using the BiosSetupSet function to change the contrast setting as the contrast is not
adjustable on the TFT display type.)
Note: Parameter names given in this manual in prototypes for some of these functions may differ from
parameter names given in the prototypes that appear in the header files. This is done to provide consistent
terminology throughout this manual.
