Since we are reading and writing from MCS we will only create instances of the classes

CPReadMCSFile and CPWriteMCSFile to actually read and write. There are some

member functions in CPReadFile/CPWriteFile and CPFile that we will use, but you will

never instantiate these classes.

All CPFile derived classes of type IMU_MCS_TypeMem should have a header to

identify the application that uses the file and what kind of data it contains. In this section

we will go through an example of how to use the CPMEMFileHeader class to create a file

header as well as how to read and write a file using the CPFile classes.

Reading From MCS

To read from MCS you must create an instance of CPReadMCSFile. You can use one of

the following constructors:

CPReadMCSFile (UCHAR type)

CPReadMCSFile (const char *name, const char *path=NULL, UCHAR type=0)

The first constructor creates CPReadMCSFile without a name or folder. You have to set

these attributes before you can use the file.

The CPReadMCSFile does not have any functions to read data directly. It inherits a few

functions from CPReadFile to read some data types from MCS. These functions include:

int ReadBytes(void *buffer, int nBytes);

virtual char ReadByte();

WORD ReadWord();

int ReadInt();

OBCD ReadDouble();

int BytesRead();

There are also a few important inherited functions from CPFile that should be used before

trying to read a file:

bool IsNotError();

int FileExists();

Here is a simple example of how to open a file and read in an integer:

CPReadMCSFile f(FILE_NAME, FOLDER_NAME);

if (f.IsNotError() && f.FileExists())
