Multi API-DLL Functions

These functions operate on meta-data within the Multi API-DLL and help manage the underlying API-DLL instances. These functions do not directly program target devices. Use these functions to initialize the desired number of FPAs, selected all or one FPA(s), read FPA serial numbers, or clean-up resources used by Elprotronic’s DLLs.

Once the desired FPAs have been successfully opened, use Generic Functions to initialize the FPAs, and configure them for the target device(s) being programmed.

Generic Functions

Having correctly configured the top-level Multi API-DLL using Multi API-DLL Functions, the functions in this section can be used to initialize and configure each FPA individually (and it’s API-DLL instance).

Generic functions read and write the API-DLL’s configuration, access status messages and can instruct the FPA to power or reset the target device. The functions described in this section require that each FPA already be opened using F OpenInstancesAndFPAs.

After the following functions have been used to configure each FPA correctly for its target device, use Data Buffer Functions to determine what code should be written during programming. Finally, Encapsulated functions can perform the process of programming, writing, erasing, verifying, etc., according to the aforementioned settings.
