Introduction
This manual describes the available functions in the DLLs for the various
TiePie
engineering
measuring instruments.
For each instrument, a specific DLL is available. All DLLs have the same routines
and the same programming interface.
Since all instruments have different specifications, a number of functions are
available to determine the specifications of the instrument, like e.g. maximum
sampling frequency, maximum record length, number of channels etc.
Not all instruments have the same functionality as other instruments, like e.g. the
availability of a function generator or digital inputs and outputs. When a certain
function is called and the instrument does not support that functionality, the
routine will return an error code indicating that the functionality is not suppor-
ted.
Since the initial development of the DLLs, many routines have been added to
the DLL, to improve the performance of performing measurements using the
DLL. Several of those routines are replacing older routines, but are not entirely
compatible. To avoid that existing software would no longer function, the old
routines are still available in the DLL, but are marked in the manual as being
obsolete. It is advised to stop using these routines and use the new routines
instead.
