Declaration of DLL functions can be found in CamControl.h. Detailed use of the DLL

calls is the following.

open

Declaration:

CAMCONTROL_API

int

open(

unsigned

int

ipAddress);

Description:

This call opens the sockets for communication. The ipAddress argument is the IP addres
of the camera, each 8 bits correspond to one subnet address, eg. the default camera ad-
dress is translated to:

10.123.13.101 -> 10<<24 + 123<<16 + 13<<8 + 10 = 175836517

close

Declaration:

CAMCONTROL_API

int

close();

Description:

This call closes the communication to the camera and closes the sockets.

writePDI

Declaration:

CAMCONTROL_API

int

writePDI(

unsigned

char

address,

unsigned

int

subaddress,

unsigned

int

noofbytes,

unsigned

char

*pData);

Description:

This call performs a register write operation. Parameter

address

is the module address;

1 is for the DAQ module, 2 is for the Control module.

subaddrss

is the start address of

the register which should be written, while noofbytes is the number of bytes to be written
and *PData is the pointer to the data to be written. If the return value is less than 0 then
an error occurred.

readPDI

Declaration:

CAMCONTROL_API

int

readPDI(

unsigned

char

address,

unsigned

int

subaddress,

unsigned

int

noofbytes,

unsigned

char

*pData);

Description:

The parameters have identical meaning than for writePDI, but the registers are not written
but their contents are read from APDCAM. If the return value is less than 0 then an error
occurred.

GetPdiIrqCount

Declaration:

CAMCONTROL_API

int

GetPdiIrqCount();

Description:

This call reads the interrupt counter register in the DLL. Interrupts happen in the DAQ
and ADC modules on certain conditions, but the interrupt does not contain any informa-
tion on what happened. As the camera operates autonomously interrupts are of limited
use, they make detection of unexpected conditions easier.
