Function Documentation

int RCAPI RCStartOutput

(

int

handle

)

Start Laser Output.

This function initialises the device and activates the shutter signal.

Parameters

handle

Device handle as obtained by RCOpenDevice();

Returns

RCOk on success. If an error occured, a negative value indicating one of the RCReturnCode error codes is returned.

int RCAPI RCStopOutput

(

int

handle

)

Stop Laser Output.

This function stops the laser output and deactivates the shutter signal.

Parameters

handle

Device handle as obtained by RCOpenDevice();

Returns

RCOk on success. If an error occured, a negative value indicating one of the RCReturnCode error codes is returned.

int RCAPI RCWaitForReady	(	int	handle,
		int	timeout
	)

Wait for Buffer.

Parameters

handle	Device handle as obtained by RCOpenDevice();
timeout	The maximum time to wait for a buffer to become free in milliseconds.

If timeOut is is zero, this function does not wait und returns the number of free buffers immediately. If timeOut is negative, this function will wait for a buffer to become free without timing out.

Returns

The number of free buffers. If an error occured, a negative value indicating one of the RCReturnCode error codes is returned.

int RCAPI RCMaxSpeed

(

int

handle

)

Query maximum sampling rate of the device.

This function queries the maximum sampling rate of the device in Hz.

Parameters

handle

Device handle as obtained by RCOpenDevice(int handle);

Returns

The maximum sampling rate of the device in Hz. If an error occured, a negative value indicating one of the RCReturnCode error codes is returned.

int RCAPI RCWriteFrame	(	int	handle,
		const struct RCPoint *	points,
		unsigned int	count,
		unsigned int	speed,
		unsigned int	repeat
	)

Write Frame.

Write a frame to the device.

Parameters

handle	Device handle as obtained by RCOpenDevice()
points	pointer to an array of RCPoint structures containing the vector data;
count	number of points that should be written
speed	sampling rate in Hz that should be used for this frame
repeat	how often this frame should be repeated. If 0, the frame will be repeated continuously until a new frame is written.

Returns

RCOk on success. If an error occured, a negative value indicating one of the RCReturnCode error codes is returned.
