DL950 Flash Acquisition Data Access Library

API Overview

The API is provided as a dynamic link library (DLL). The API can be used by linking user applications with this DLL.
The Flash Acquisition Data Access API provides applications with a function for extracting flash acquisition waveform data stored in a DL950 directly to a PC without loading the data into the instrument.
Note that the acquisition memory is used as a temporary buffer when flash acquisition waveform data is extracted through the use of this API.
Thus, data and history information in the acquisition memory that have not been saved to a storage device will be cleared. Waveform data stored in the flash acquisition area is not affected.

Functions

This software can be used to perform the following functions. For details, see User’s Manual.

• Initializing the API
• Connecting and disconnecting from measuring instruments
• Getting the measurement conditions of waveform data stored in the flash acquisition area
• Getting the waveform data stored in the flash acquisition area
