Detailed Description

Notice that earlier versions of the library used classes outside of this namespace but with "okC" prefix. These classes still exist for compatibility, but you are encouraged to use the classes in OpalKelly namespace in any new code.

Function Documentation

◆ CheckAPIVersion()

bool OpalKelly::CheckAPIVersion ( int major,
int minor,
int micro )

A call to this function would normally be done inside a check for OK_CHECK_API_VERSION() as otherwise the code guarded by it might not compile when using older library versions, so a typical example of its use would look like the following:

#if OK_CHECK_API_VERSION(5, 2, 0)
... use the new function ...
} else {
... maybe complain about the library being too old ...
}
#else
... maybe fall back to something else ...
#endif
bool CheckAPIVersion(int major, int minor, int micro)
Check if FrontPanel version used during run-time is at least the given one.

◆ FrontPanelEmulateTestDeviceConnection()

FrontPanel::ErrorCode OpalKelly::FrontPanelEmulateTestDeviceConnection ( const std::string & serial,
bool connect )
inline

Connect/disconnect a device to FrontPanelManager created with okREALM_TEST for debug and test purposes. This function fires OnDeviceAdded/OnDeviceRemoved from the thread where it was called (can be different from the thread where EnterMonitorLoop() is currently running).

Parameters
serialThe serial number of the emulated device.
connectWhether to call OnDeviceAdded or OnDeviceRemoved.
Returns
NoError - Operation completed successfully.
InvalidParameter - The serial is empty string.
Failed - The device was not added/removed because there is no one test manager or device already exists/removed.

◆ GetAPIVersionMajor()

int OpalKelly::GetAPIVersionMajor ( )

Major version is the first version component, e.g. for FrontPanel 4.5.7 the major version is 4.

OK_API_VERSION_MAJOR, GetAPIVersionMinor(), GetAPIVersionMicro(), CheckAPIVersion()

◆ GetAPIVersionMicro()

int OpalKelly::GetAPIVersionMicro ( )

Micro version is the first version component, e.g. for FrontPanel 4.5.7 the micro version is 7.

See also
OK_API_VERSION_MICRO, GetAPIVersionMajor(), GetAPIVersionMinor(), CheckAPIVersion()

◆ GetAPIVersionMinor()

int OpalKelly::GetAPIVersionMinor ( )

Minor version is the first version component, e.g. for FrontPanel 4.5.7 the minor version is 5.

See also
OK_API_VERSION_MINOR, GetAPIVersionMajor(), GetAPIVersionMicro(), CheckAPIVersion()

◆ GetAPIVersionString()

const char * OpalKelly::GetAPIVersionString ( )

This string is composed of dot-separated major, minor and micro version numbers, e.g. "4.5.7" for FrontPanel 4.5.7.
