4.1 G-API Programming
The G-API (GOEPEL-API) is the C-based user interface for GOEPEL
electronic hardware under Windows
®
.
It provides a wide, hardware independent command set for CAN, LIN,
K-Line, FlexRay, MOST, LVDS, ADIO and Diagnostic services.
No matter whether a PXI/ PCI, USB or Ethernet device is used, the
commands remain the same.
The hardware abstraction introduced with the
G-API gives the test
application parallel access to the hardware, allowing one application to
access multiple hardware interfaces; as well as multiple applications
can access the same hardware interfaces in parallel.
Another feature introduced by the
G-API is the asynchronous
hardware access. This means no blocking execution for pending
firmware commands. The command acknowledgement is provided via
a callback mechanism.
With the
HardwareExplorer
(see also Ethernet )
GOEPEL electronic
provides an effective hardware configuration and management tool,
offering users an easy way to manage their hardware configurations
and identifying specific hardware interfaces by logical names. Using
logical interface names in the application saves from rebuilding the
application when porting it to another interface or controller board, as
the interface can be easily reassigned in the HardwareExplorer .
Furthermore, the HardwareExplorer provides a simple means of testing
the interaction between hardware and software by executing the
integrated self-tests.
Please consult the G-API documentation for further information.
This documentation and the installation software are located in the
G-API folder on the supplied “Product Information” CD.
