5.17 _9112_ContDmaStart
uDescription
The function will perform A/D conversion continuous with DMA data transfer. It will takes place in the background which will not be stop until your program execute _9112_ContDmaStop() function to stop the process.
After executing this function, it is necessary to check the status of double buffer by using the function _9112_CheckHalfReady() and using _9112_DblBufferTransfer() to get the A/D converted data.
There is a group function for continuous A/D conversion using DMA as following:
_9112_ContDmaStart();
_9112_CheckHalfReady(); _9112_DblBufferTransfer(); _9112_GetOverrunStatus(); _9112_ContDmaStop();

C/C++ ( DOS)
int _9112_ContDmaStart (int card_number, int auto_scan, int ad_ch_no, int ad_range, int count , int *db_buffer, int c1, int c2)
uArgument
card_number : the card number of
auto_scan : TRUE or FALSE
Example1 : auto_scan is FALSE, ad_ch_no is 3. Using DMA mode to read A/D data only channel 3.
Example2 : auto_scan is TRUE, ad_ch_no is 3. Using DMA mode to read A/D data with
ad_ch_no : A/D channel number
ad_range : A/D analog input range, please refer to the section 4.3.8 for the possible values.
count : the number of A/D conversion
db_buffer(DOS): the start address of the circular buffer to store the
