instruNet

The subroutines shown below are used to set, store and restore channels settings. These settings could be anything from digital filter settings, to the sensor type on channel {1,1,1,1}. For details on moving settings information between Windows 32bit and 64bit computers, click here.

Open_instruNet_Window()
Open an instruNet World window.

Set_instruNet_Network_State()
Load all channel settings into an array.

Get_instruNet_Network_State()
Restore channel settings from array data.

These routines are exposed through the iNet32.DLL and through the INET_INT.C interface file; and are documented in file INET_INT.C. The following C code, from file INET_EX3.C, demonstrates how to show the instruNet settings window from within a program, load an array with the settings, store this array to disk, load this array from disk, and restore the channel settings.

// =======================
// Open the instruNet Network Window, and get the state of all the instruNet channel settings.

e = Open_instruNet_Window(iNetCM_OpenWindow_Network /* 2 */,0L,0L,0L,0L,0L,0L,0L);

// =======================
// We will now ask the instruNet driver to place all the channel settings into the settings[] array.

e = Get_instruNet_Network_State(
&settings[0], SETTINGS_BYTES, &numBytesOfData );

// =======================
// Store all the channel settings to disk (after the user set them as desired in the NETWORK window).

file = fopen( "iNetSettings", "w");
fwrite(&settings[0], sizeof(char), numBytesOfData, file);
fclose( file );

// =======================
// Read the settings file in from disk.

file = fopen( "iNetSettings", "r");
numBytesRead = fread(
&settings[0],sizeof(char),SETTINGS_BYTES, file);
fclose( file );

// =======================
// Restore the instruNet channel settings to that which was saved on disk.

e = Set_instruNet_Network_State(&settings[0], numBytesRead);
