LT360 Precision Turntable
DLL Programming Manual
1.1 Overview of LT360LIB.DLL
A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is provided for use by user application
programs to allow direct control of the LT360 Precision Turntable. The DLL
supports the Win32 OS environments. For other operating system environ-
ments, the universal RS-232 programming method should be used.
The DLL supports both methods of linking to LT360 turntables either via
serial RS-232 connections or the USB (Universal Serial Bus). Multiple LT360
units can be managed by the DLL simultaneously, from 1 to 128 units.
The DLL handles all of the management details necessary for easy serial
communications over either the PC's com ports or USB. The application
program needs only to place calls to the DLL through 4 simple functions.
The LT360LIB.DLL file should be placed in a folder where the Windows
system can find it. Typically placing a copy in the application folder is
common, or in the main Windows folder.
The DLL functions are 32 bit code and can be called by any Win32 applica-
tion written in any language. An appropriate header file is all that is required
for the exported functions for linking.
