Each of these functions is described in more detail on the following pages. For C/C++ development the
constants, types, and function prototypes are contained in the C header file, sc5511a.h. These constants
and types are useful not only as an include for developing applications using the SC5511A API, but also
for writing device drivers independent of those provided by SignalCore.
API Description
The prototype functions listed below are found in the sc5511a.h header file and the functions are
contained in the dynamic linked library (sc5511a.dll) for the Windows
Function: sc5511a_search_devices
Definition: int sc5511a_search_devices(char
Output: char **serialNumberList
Description: sc5511a_search_devices searches for SignalCore SC5511A devices connected to the host
computer and returns (int) the number of devices found, and it also populates the char
array with their serial numbers. The user can use this information to open specific
device(s) based on their unique serial numbers. See sc5511a_open_device function on
how to open a device.
Function: sc5511a_open_device
Definition: sc5511a_device_handle_t
Input: char * dev_serial_num
Return: *device_handle
Description: sc5511a_open_device opens the device and turns the front panel "active" LED on if it is
successful. It returns a handle to the device for other function calls.
