8 REMOTE TERMINAL FUNCTIONS
Chapter 8 defines the Remote Terminal function calls of the API S/W Library. The RT
functions provide configuration, status and error insertion for RT transfers. The function calls in
this table are listed in a functional order, however, the detailed descriptions of the RT function
calls in the following sections are in alphabetical order.

Table 8-I – Remote Terminal Function Descriptions
Defines an RT Buffer Header to be assigned to an RT SA/Mode
code
Read the RT-SA buffer header structure
Defines dynamic data to be inserted into the RT transmit Data
words
Enables/Disables a selected RT on the fly
Read the Dytag settings for the generation of dynamic data
words for a RT transmit SA
ApiCmdRTGetSABufferHeaderInfo
Get the buffer header id of a certain RT/SA combination
Read the error injection settings of the specified RT Sub-
address/Mode code
ApiCmdRTGetSimulationInfo
Read the simulation and monitoring status of an RT
Initializes multiple RTs at one time (combination of ApiCmdRTIni
and ApiCmdRTSACon)
Stops the RT operation for all assigned RTs
Initializes a select RT including configuration for
simulation/mailbox mode, Response time and Next Status word
Redefines the Last Command word associated with the RT
Redefines the Last Status word associated with the RT
Reads the individual RT’s Next/Last Status word, Last Command
word and message and error counter
Reads the RT message and error counter for all 32 RTs
Redefines the Next Status word associated with the RT
Redefines the Response time associated with the RT
Gets the Response time associated with the RT
Defines the properties of the RT SA/Mode code such as interrupt
control, and unique Next Status word setup
Defines the error injection of the RT SA/Mode code
Reads the execution status for an RT SA/Mode code
Starts the RT operation for all assigned RTs
Reads the execution status of the general RT operation and the
RT global message and error counters
