Ctrl Command get_config_list
Function
passes the parameters of the current list memory configuration (
Mem1, Mem2
) to the DLL’s
board management and initializes it as if the
command was called.
Call
get_config_list()
Comments
• The
get_config_list
command is useful when a board changes “ownership” and the
new board management is not aware of the memory configuration (at the start of each
application, the board and board management each independently initialize
Mem1 =
4000 and
Mem2 =
4000; the board via
and
board management when starting the corresponding application). Also see
Acquisition by an Application", page 86
• The
get_config_list
command does not return a value to the application. The applica-
tion can, however, read the list-memory configuration data after
load_list( ListNo,
0 )
or
set_start_list_pos( ListNo, 0 )
by using the
command.
• The
get_config_list
command will be executed regardless of the board’s BUSY status.

started via an external start signal. The counter can be reset to zero via

is also available without explicit access rights to a
specific RTC
®
5 board.

is not available as a multi-board command.
• The board-specific error variables
LastError
and
