Operation with Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
6.1
Introduction
The USB terminal element provides connectivity for a signal tower to the PC via USB.
The user controls the USB module by using a specified dynamic link library (DLL) file found on
the CD provided with the USB terminal element. The DLL contains several functions to set and
retrieve the light module status.
The control over the light module is generally carried out by a customer application. The
control over the module from the user application is achieved via a specific DLL which shares
all the commonly needed functions. The DLL library is a standard windows functions library
which can be easily used with the most common application development tools such as
Visual Basic, Visual C++ etc.
