6. LIBI8K.AIn this section, we will focus on examples for the description of and application of thefunctions found in the Libi8k.a. The Libi8k.a functions can be clarified into 3 groupswhich are listed in Fig. 6-1Fig. 6-1Functions (1) and (2) in the Libi8k.a are the same as with the DCON.DLL Driver( including Uart.dll and I7000.dll ) as used in the DCON modules ( I-7000 / I-8000 / I-87000in serial communication ). You can refer to the DCON.DLL Driver manual which includesthe functions on how to use DCON modules. The DCON.DLL Driver has already beenwrapped into the Libi8k.a. Functions (3) of the Libi8k.a consist of the most importantfunctions as they are specially designed for I-8000 modules in the LinPAC-8000 slots.They are different from functions (1) and (2) because the communication of I-8000modules in the LinPAC-8000 slots are parallel and not serial. Therefore ICP DAS rewroteI8000.c to Slot.c especially for I-8000 modules in the LinPAC-8000 slots. Here we willintroduce all the funcitions for slot.c and they can be divided into eight parts for ease ofuse.LinPAC-8x4x SDK:37
