To access the measuring equipment via the RSIB interface, copy the librsib.so.X.Y file to a
directory for which the control application has read rights. X.Y in the file name indicates the version
number of the library, for example 1.0.
The librsib.so.X.Y library is created as a shared library. The applications using the library need not
consider its version. They simply link the library with the lrsib option. The following instructions have to
be observed so that linking can be successfully performed and the library can be found during program
execution:
File link:
• Use the operating system command In to create a file with the link name librsib.so and pointing
to librsib.so.X.Y in a directory for which the control application has read rights. Example:
$ ln –s /usr/lib/librsib.so.1.0 /usr/lib/librsib.so
Linker options for creating applications:
• -lrsib : import library
• -Lxxx : path information where the import library can be found. This is where the above file link has
been created. Example: -L/usr/lib.
Additional linker options for creating applications (only under Solaris):
• -Rxxx: path information where the library is searched for during the program run:
-R/usr/lib.
Run-time environment:
• Set environment variable LD_RUN_PATH to the directory in which the file link has been created. This
is necessary only if librsib.so cannot be found in the default search path of the operating system
and the -R linker option (only Solaris) was not specified.
For C/C++ programming, the declarations of the library functions and the definition of error codes are
contained in:
C/C++: 'RSIB.H' (D:\R_S\Instr\RSIB)
