gage_set_records
Syntax
C:
int16 GAGEAPI gage_set_records (uInt16 far *records, int16 record, uInt16 segment, uInt16 index,
uInt16 typename, uInt16 status);
Visual BASIC:
Function gage_set_records (records As Integer, ByVal record As Integer, ByVal segment As Integer,
ByVal index As Integer, ByVal typename As Integer, ByVal status As Integer)
As Integer
Remarks
gage_set_records is used to initialize the gage_board_location array when the configuration file
(GAGESCOP.INC) is either not found or not used. Using this routine is preferred because the format of
the gage_board_location file is subject to change. The array gage_board_location should be allocated by
the calling program and should be large enough (64 words) to hold the initialization for
GAGE_B_L_MAX_CARDS boards.
The record parameter is the number of the board to be initialized.
The segment, index, typename and status parameters are the desired values for that particular board.
segment and index are the values that are used by the GSINST.EXE, PCIINST.EXE, P500INST.EXE and
GAGECFG.EXE configuration programs.
The typename and status should be zero in a call to gage_set_records.
Return Value
The return value is one if the record parameter is in the range (0 to GAGE_B_L_MAX_CARDS - 1) and
zero otherwise.
