Detailed Description

Provides a class that binds to gclib's unmanaged dll.

Wraps each call and provides a more user-friendly interface for use in C#.

The Gclib class assumes the default installation of gclib, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Galil\gclib\". If the dlls are elsewhere, change the path strings GclibDllPath_, and GcliboDllPath_.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GRead()

byte[] gclib.GRead ( )

inline

Performs a read on the connection.

Returns: String containing the read data, or a nullstring if nothing was read or an error occured.

Wrapper around gclib GRead(), http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/all/doc/gclib/html/gclib_8h.html#adab6ec79b7e1bc7f0266684dd3434923

Definition at line 534 of file gclib.cs.

◆ GWrite()

void gclib.GWrite ( string buffer )

inline

Performs a write on the connection.

Parameters

buffer The user's write buffer. To send a Galil command, a terminating carriage return is usually required.

Wrapper around gclib GWrite(), http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/all/doc/gclib/html/gclib_8h.html#abe28ebaecd5b3940adf4e145d40e5456

Exceptions

System.Exception Will throw an exception if anything other than G_NO_ERROR is received from gclib.
