Continuous Capture Functions; General Purpose Driver - ICP DAS USA PCI-1202 Series Hardware User Manual

6. Continuous Capture Functions

The continuous capture functions are very useful in real world applications. It can be
used many types of applications. Those applications are
1. Low speed, no storage, real-time processing, continuous capture
2. High speed, store the A/D data in PC main memory, time is limited by memory size
(Referring to P180X_FunA series functions and P180X_FunB series function for more
Detail information in 6.2)
3. High speed, store the A/D data in the external NVRAM, time is limited by memory size

6.1 General Purpose Driver

The PCI-1202/1602/1800/1802 is very suitable for these three applications. The software driver
can support 16 cards max. in one PC system. The software of version 2.0 only support 2 cards
for continuous capture function. The software 3.0 will support more cards. The continuous
capture functions are special designed into many groups. Each group is corresponding to one
card. There are three functions included in a group as follows:
1. P180X_Card0_StartScan(...)
2. P180X_Card0_ReadStatus(...)
3. P180X_Card0_StopScan(....)
1. P180X_Card1_StartScan(...)
2. P180X_Card1_ReadStatus(...)
3. P180X_Card1_StopScan(....)
The features of these functions are given as follows:
Support DOS, Window 3.1/95/NT
Single-card solution
Multiple-card solution
Will support more cards in the next version software
P1202_Card0_StartScan(...) is designed for PCI-1202H/L/HU/LU
P1602_Card0_StartScan(...) is designed for PCI-1602 and PCI-1602F
