/* UL call demonstrated: ulCInConfigScan() Purpose: Performs a continuous scan of the specified encoder channels Demonstration: Displays the counter data for the specified encoders Steps: 1. Call ulGetDaqDeviceInventory() to get the list of available DAQ devices 2. Call ulCreateDaqDevice() to to get a handle for the first DAQ device 3. Verify the DAQ device has a counter input subsystem 4. Verify the counter input subsystem has a hardware pacer 5. Call ulConnectDaqDevice() to establish a UL connection to the DAQ device 6. Get the counter numbers for the supported encoders 7. Call ulCConfigScan() to configure the encoder channel 8. Call ulCInScan() to start the scan of encoder channels 9. Call ulCInScanStatus() to check the status of the background operation 10. Display the data for each channel 11. Call ulCInScanStop() to stop the background operation 12. Call ulDisconnectDaqDevice() and ulReleaseDaqDevice() before exiting the process. */ #include #include #include "uldaq.h" #include "utility.h" #define MAX_DEV_COUNT 100 #define MAX_SCAN_OPTIONS_LENGTH 256 #define MAX_ENCODER_COUNTERS 2 int main(void) { int descriptorIndex = 0;
