9.4 Demo Programs
The RTC
®
4 software package contains six different
program code samples (file
DEMO.ZIP
). The purpose
of these samples is to demonstrate usage of the
diverse control and list commands.
The samples are written in the C language. They
show the necessary calling sequences of the RTC
®
4
commands, which you can easily translate into your
preferred programming language.
The table below gives an overview of the character-
istics of the demo programs Demo1 to Demo5.
The demo program Demo_intelliSCAN.CPP demon-
strates the communication between RTC
®
4 and
intelli SCAN
®
via a simple marking example.
The source files
DEMO1.CPP
and
DEMO_intelliSCAN.CPP
are listed in the following
section.
All demo programs (C sources and executables) can
be found in the corresponding folder of the RTC
®
4
software package.
