1 Preface

1.1 Introduction

This manual provides complete and detailed description of i8092F functions
for users to develop programs for their control of automatic equipments.
Many examples are included in this manual for reference to write efficient
application programs.
This manual includes six chapters and two appendices. This chapter gives a
brief description of this manual. Chapter 2 to 6 is the explanations of macro
functions (MF). Appendices A and B are the descriptions of basic functions
(BF) and the registers of MCX312, respectively.
The functions defined in DLL file are explained here. This DLL can be used on
different developing software platforms, such as eVC++, VB.net, and C#.net,
and different OS systems ( MiniOS7 / WinCE).

1.2 Basic and Macro functions

Basic functions are suitable for those who are familiar with the MCX312
motion chip. These functions can directly read/write the registers of motion
chip. However, users need to know more details about this motion chip.
Macro functions provide a set of much easy-to-use functions that simplify the
programming for users. Some necessary settings, such as speed range and
deceleration point, are calculated inside those functions to ease the loading of
users on having to understand the motion chip. Some useful costumed
functions are provided for users to develop applications efficiently.
If possible, do not mix these two groups of functions together. Some internal
parameters may be changed beyond users＇consideration.
