Description

Functions to retrieve information from the listed devices.

Before opening a device, device specific information can be retrieved. This information can help opening the required device, when multiple devices are available in the list.

Methods to identify the required device

Three different methods to identify a device are available:

Identify by device list index (IDKIND_INDEX), e.g.:
TpDate_t dwNumber = LstDevGetCalibrationDate( IDKIND_INDEX , 4 ); // Get the calibration date from the device at list index 4.
Identify by serial number (IDKIND_SERIALNUMBER), e.g.:
TpDate_t dwNumber = LstDevGetCalibrationDate( IDKIND_SERIALNUMBER , 22110 ); // Get the calibration date from the device with serial number 22110.
Identify by product id (IDKIND_PRODUCTID), e.g.:
TpDate_t dwNumber = LstDevGetCalibrationDate( IDKIND_PRODUCTID , PID_HS5 ); // Get the calibration date from the first Handyscope HS5 in the device list.
