Arguments (in C Syntax)

Full Description

1	Supply a	GetCardHandle	(long* CardHandle,	Call this function in loop in your initialization.
	‘Card Handle’		short CardIndex)	Start with CardIndex=0 and increment it each iteration.
	to the n-th EN-			Stop the loop upon receiving a ‘failure’ (0) return code from the
	EIC-325-PCI			function.
	card (if exists).			For each iteration (denoting CardIndex by ‘n’):
	(First n is 0.)			If the n-th EN-EIC-325-PCI card is detected:
				* CardHandle is set to a handle to current card, to be used by you
				as card’s identifier in all other functions. Save this CardHandle.
				In case you have more than one EN-EIC-325-PCI card, use an
				array
				for the ‘save’ operation.
				* Return Code is set to 1 (‘success’).
				Otherwise (no ‘fresh’ card detected):
				* CardHandle is irrelevant.
				* Return Code is set to 0 (‘failure’).
2	Supply the	GetRevisionID	(long CardHandle,	Sets RevisionID to the Revision ID of current EN-EIC-325-PCI
	Revision ID of		short* RevisionID)	card.
	current card.
3	Set a LED	SetLed	(long CardHandle,	Turns the specified LED on or off. Useful to check primary
			short LedNumber,	communication with the card. Except when turning both LEDs on,
			short OnOffMode)	has no functional significance. Turning both LEDs on has same
				effect as RequestPositionCounter (CardHandle, Encoder4, 0),
				i.e., simultaneous request for all four axes.
4	Get a LED	GetLed	(long CardHandle,	Gets the current status (on or off) of the specified LED.
			short LedNumber,
			short* OnOffMode)
