Parameter Values:
Port
NetScan = 1
Aux = 0
Flush
retain = 0
Empty = 1
Terminator
none = -1
CRLF = -3
User defined = 0 to 255
Returns: 0 if successful, error code or warning if command not completed.
Description: This function’s primary use is to send data to the NetScan’s ethernet interface. The secondary use is to
flush all characters from the NetScan’s ethernet interface receive buffer. Because this function may take some time
to complete, the return value must be tested to see if the command has completed. The return value for command
pending is –801.
Example:
Do {
ErrVal = nSERIALSend(session, 1, 0, 1000, 13, 100, &dataBuffer,
&xlength, &status);
} while (errVal == -801) ;
nSessionEnd
Function: int nSessionEnd (long session);
Parameters:
long
session
The session handle of the NetScan
Returns: 0 if successful, error code if not.
Description: This function is used to end an active session. When operations with the NetScan are
completed, this function should be called to end the session.
nSwDeinit
Function: int nSWDeinit (void);
Parameters: None
Returns:0 if successful, error code if not.
Description: This function is used to de-initialize all resources allocated by the nSWInit function.
This is the last function that should be called.
