3.3.4 MX module programming interface (API)
API (Application Programming Interface) designates programming interfaces used
by programmers to directly access functions of other programs for use in their own
programs. The API allows full access to all MX module functions via individually
programmable software. The API can be used in the form of programming libraries in
.NET technologies. The libraries allow separate applications to be created in
programming languages such as C#. The library includes functions such as
communication connection, configuration of inputs and outputs, starting and
stopping data acquisition and troubleshooting.
Find more information about the HBM common API at www.hbm.com/daq-support.
Application-based examples and practice-oriented documentation enable a quick
start.
3.4 Updating firmware
Updating module firmware is recommended in the following situations:
n Starting use of a new PC software package
n Expanding the system with new modules
Use MX Assistant or catman® to easily check firmware status of the modules and
update when necessary. For details, please refer to the online help of the software.
CAUTION
It may take several minutes for the MX module firmware update to complete. Do
not reboot or power down the MX module, when firmware updates are in
progress. This may render the MX module unusable.
