Function Documentation

◆ clGetManufacturerInfo()

CLSERIALEXPORT CLINT32 CLSERIALCC clGetManufacturerInfo	(	CLINT8 *	ManufacturerName,
		CLUINT32 *	bufferSize,
		CLUINT32 *	version
	)

Returns: At completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL CL_ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND CL_ERR_INVALID_INDEX

Parameters

ManufacturerName	A pointer to a user-allocated buffer into which the function copies the manufacturer name. The returned name is NULL-terminated. In the case that the .dll conforms to the October 2000 spec, this parameter will contain the file name of the .dll rather than the manufacturer name.
bufferSize	As an input, this value should be the size of the buffer that is passed. On successful return, this parameter contains the number of bytes written into the buffer, including the NULL termination character. On CL_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, this parameter contains the size of the buffer needed to write the data text.
version	The version of the Camera Link Specifications with which this .dll complies.

◆ clSerialInit()

Returns: On completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_PORT_IN_USE CL_ERR_INVALID_INDEXa pointer to the vendor-specific reference to the current session.

Parameters

serialIndex	A zero-based index value. For n serial devices in your system supported by this library, serialIndex has a range of 0 to(n-1). The order of the serial devices is vendor specific.
serialRefPtr	Points to a value that contains, on a successful call,

◆ clSerialRead()

CLSERIALEXPORT CLINT32 CLSERIALCC clSerialRead	(	hSerRef	serialRef,
		CLINT8 *	buffer,
		CLUINT32 *	bufferSize,

	)

Upon success, numBytes are copied into buffer. In the case of any error, including CL_ERR_TIMEOUT, no data is copied into buffer.

Returns: On completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_TIMEOUT CL_ERR_INVALID_REFERENCE

Parameters

serialRef	The value obtained from the clSerialInit function.
buffer	Points to a user-allocated buffer. Upon a successful call, buffer contains the data read from the serial device. Upon failure, this buffer is not affected. Caller should ensure that buffer is at least numBytes in size.
bufferSize	This is the number of bytes requested by the caller.
serialTimeOut	Indicates the timeout in milliseconds.

◆ clSerialWrite()

CLSERIALEXPORT CLINT32 CLSERIALCC clSerialWrite	(	hSerRef	serialRef,
		CLINT8 *	buffer,
		CLUINT32 *	bufferSize,
		CLUINT32	serialTimeOut
	)

Returns: On completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_INVALID_REFERENCE CL_ERR_TIMEOUT

Parameters

serialRef	The value obtained from the clSerialInit function.
buffer	Contains data to write to the serial device.
bufferSize	Contains the buffer size indicating the number of bytes to be written. Upon a successful call, bufferSize contains the number of bytes written to the serial device.
serialTimeOut	Indicates the timeout in milliseconds.

◆ clSerialClose()

CLSERIALEXPORT void CLSERIALCC clSerialClose ( hSerRef serialRef )

Parameters

serialRef The value obtained from the clSerialInit function for clean up.

◆ clGetNumSerialPorts()

CLSERIALEXPORT CLINT32 CLSERIALCC clGetNumSerialPorts ( CLUINT32 * numSerialPorts )

Returns: At completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND CL_ERR_MANU_DOES_NOT_EXISTthat you can access with the current .dll.

Parameters

numSerialPorts The number of serial ports in your system

◆ clGetSerialPortIdentifier()

CLSERIALEXPORT CLINT32 CLSERIALCC clGetSerialPortIdentifier	(	CLUINT32	serialIndex,
		CLINT8 *	PortID,
		CLUINT32 *	bufferSize
	)

is passed. On successful return, this parameter contains the number of bytes written into the buffer, including the NULL termination character. On CL_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, this parameter contains the size of the buffer needed to write the data text.

Parameters

serialIndex	A zero-based index value. The valid range for serialIndex is 0 to n-1, where n is the value of numSerialPorts, as returned by clGetNumManuSerialPorts.
PortID	Manufacturer-specific identifier for the serial port. In the case that the manufacturer .dll conforms to the October 2000 specification, on return this parameter will be "Port #n" where n is a unique index for the port.
bufferSize	As an input, this value should be the size of the buffer that

◆ clGetNumBytesAvail()

CLSERIALEXPORT CLINT32 CLSERIALCC clGetNumBytesAvail	(	hSerRef	serialRef,
		CLUINT32 *	numBytes

Parameters

serialRef	The value obtained by the clSerialInit function.
numBytes	The number of bytes currently available to be read from the port.

		CLUINT32 *	baudRates
	)

Returns: At completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_INVALID_REFERENCE CL_ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUNDas described by serialRefPtr. See Table B-2 of the Camera Link documentation for more information on constants.

Parameters

serialRef	Points to a value that contains, on a successful call, a pointer to the vendor-specific reference to the current session.

Note: clGetErrorText first looks for the error code in CCTserial.dll. If the error code is not found in CCTserial.dll, it is not a standard Camera Link error. clGetErrorText then passes the error code to the manufacturer-specific .dll, which returns the manufacturer-specific error text.

Returns: On completion, this function returns one of the following status codes: CL_ERR_NO_ERR CL_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL CL_ERR_ERROR_NOT_FOUNDinto the buffer, including the NULL-termination character. This value should be the size in bytes of the error text buffer passed in. On CL_ERR__BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, contains the size of the buffer needed to write the error text.

Parameters

errorCode	The error code used to find the appropriate error text. An error code is returned by every function in this library.
errorText	A caller-allocated buffer which contains the NULL-terminated error text on function return.
errorTextSize	On success, contains the number of bytes written
