Function Documentation

◆ sbapi_initialize()

DLL_DECL void sbapi_initialize ( )

This should be called prior to any other sbapi_call. The API may recover gracefully if this is not called, but future releases may assume this is called first. This should be called synchronously – a single thread should call this.

◆ sbapi_shutdown()

DLL_DECL void sbapi_shutdown ( )

This may be called to free up any allocated memory being held by the driver interface. After this is called by any thread, sbapi_initialize should be called again before any other sbapi_ functions are used.

◆ sbapi_add_TCPIPv4_device_location()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_add_TCPIPv4_device_location ( char *  deviceTypeName,
char *  ipAddress,
unsigned int  port 
)

This specifies to the driver that a device of the given type might be found on the network at a given address and port. The driver will add the device type and location to the set of those that can be opened.

Parameters
deviceTypeName(Input) The name of a type of device. This can be one of the following: Jaz
ipAddress(Input) The IPv4 address of the device. This should be in "dotted quads" notation, such as "192.168.1.100".
port(Input) The network port to open on the device. This will depend on the device type; consult its datasheet.
Returns
zero on success, non-zero on error

◆ sbapi_add_RS232_device_location()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_add_RS232_device_location ( char *  deviceTypeName,
char *  deviceBusPath,
unsigned int  baud 
)

This specifies to the driver that a device of the given type might be found on a particular RS232 bus (e.g. a COM port). The driver will add the device type and location to the set of those that can be opened.

Parameters
deviceTypeName(Input) The name of a type of device. This can be one of the following: QE-PRO, STS.
deviceBusPath(Input) The location of the device on the RS232 bus. This will be a platform-specific location. Under Windows, this may be COM1, COM2, etc. Under Linux, this might be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc.
baud(Input) Baud rate at which to open the device. This should be specified as the rate itself, e.g. 9600, 57600, or 115200.
Returns
zero on success, non-zero on error

◆ sbapi_probe_devices()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_probe_devices ( )

This causes a search for known devices on all buses that support autodetection. This does NOT automatically open any device – that must still be done with the sbapi_open_device() function. Note that this should only be done by one thread at a time, and it is recommended that other threads avoid calling sbapi_get_number_of_device_ids() or sbapi_get_device_ids() while this is executing. Ideally, a single thread should be designated for all device discovery/get actions, and separate worker threads can be used for each device discovered.

Returns
the total number of devices that have been found automatically. If called repeatedly, this will always return the number of devices most recently found, even if they have been found or opened previously.

◆ sbapi_get_number_of_device_ids()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_get_number_of_device_ids ( )

This returns the total number of devices that are known either because they have been specified with sbapi_add_RS232_device_location or because they were probed on some bus. This can be used to bound the number of device references that can be gotten with sbapi_get_device_ids().

Returns
the total number of devices references that are available through sbapi_get_device_ids().

◆ sbapi_get_device_ids()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_get_device_ids ( long *  ids,
unsigned int  max_ids 
)

This will populate the provided buffer with up to max_ids of device references. These references must be used as the first parameter to most of the other sbapi_ calls. Each uniquely identifies a single device instance.

Parameters
ids(Output) an array of long integers that will be overwritten with the unique IDs of each known device. Note that these devices will not be open by default.
max_ids(Input) the maximum number of IDs that may be written to the array
Returns
The total number of device IDs that were written to the array. This may be zero on error.

◆ sbapi_open_device()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_open_device ( long  id,
int *  error_code 
)

This function opens a device attached to the system. The device must be provided as a location ID from the sbapi_get_device_ids() function. Such locations can either be specified or probed using the other methods in this interface.

Parameters
id(Input) The location ID of a device to try to open. Only IDs that have been returned by a previous call to seabreeze_get_device_ids() are valid.
error_code(Output) A pointer to an integer that can be used for storing error codes.
Returns
0 if it opened a device successfully, or 1 if no device was opened (in which case the error_code variable will be set).

◆ sbapi_close_device()

DLL_DECL void sbapi_close_device ( long  id,
int *  error_code 
)

This function closes the spectrometer attached to the system.

Parameters
id(Input) The location ID of a device previously opened with sbapi_open_device().
error_code(Output) pointer to an integer that can be used for storing error codes.

◆ sbapi_get_error_string()

DLL_DECL const char* sbapi_get_error_string ( int  error_code)

This function returns a description of the error denoted by error_code.

Parameters
error_code(Input) The integer error code to look up. Error codes may not be zero, but can be any non-zero integer (positive or negative).
Returns
char *: A description in the form of a string that describes what the error was.

◆ sbapi_get_device_type()

DLL_DECL int sbapi_get_device_type ( long  id,
int *  error_code,
char *  buffer,
unsigned int  length 
)

This function copies a string denoting the type of the device into the provided buffer.

Parameters
id(Input) The location ID of a device previously opened with sbapi_get_device_locations().
error_code(Output) pointer to an integer that can be used for storing error codes. This may be NULL.
buffer(Output) Pointer to a user buffer that the name will be stored into. This may be one of the following:
  • NONE: Used if no spectrometer is found (error_code will also be set)
  • HR2000: Represents an HR2000 spectrometer
  • HR2000PLUS: Represents an HR2000+ spectrometer
  • HR4000: Represents an HR4000 spectrometer
  • JAZ: Represents a Jaz spectrometer
  • MAYA2000: Represents a MAYA2000 spectrometer
  • MAYA2000PRO: Represents a MAYA2000PRO spectrometer
  • MAYALSL: Represents a Maya-LSL spectrometer
  • NIRQUEST256: Represents an NIRQUEST256 spectrometer
  • NIRQUEST512: Represents an NIRQUEST512 spectrometer
  • QE65000: Represents a QE65000 spectrometer
  • STS: Represents an STS spectrometer
  • Torus: Represents a Torus spectrometer
  • USB2000: Represents a USB2000 spectrometer
  • USB2000PLUS: Represents a USB2000+ spectrometer
  • USB4000: Represents a USB4000 spectrometer
length(Input) Maximum number of bytes that may be written to the buffer
Returns
integral number of bytes actually written to the user buffer

◆ sbapi_get_device_usb_endpoint_primary_out()

Queries the intensity level of the indicated light source within the given feature instance. The intensity is normalized over the range [0, 1], with 0 as the minimum and 1 as the maximum.

SAFETY WARNING: a light source at its minimum intensity (0) might still emit light, and in some cases, this may be harmful radiation. A value of 0 indicates the minimum of the programmable range for the light source, and does not necessarily turn the light source off. To disable a light source completely, use sbapi_light_source_set_enable() if the device supports this feature, or provide some other mechanism to allow the light to be disabled or blocked by the operator.

In some cases, the intensity may refer to the duty cycle of a pulsed light source instead of a continuous power rating. The actual power output of the light source might not vary linearly with the reported intensity, so independent measurement or calibration of the light source may be necessary.

Parameters
deviceID(Input) The index of a device previously opened with sbapi_open_device().
featureID(Input) The ID of a particular instance of a light source feature. Valid IDs can be found with the sbapi_get_light_source_features() function.
error_code(Output) A pointer to an integer that can be used for storing error codes.
light_source_index(Input) Which of potentially many light sources (LEDs, lasers, light bulbs) within the indicated feature instance to query
Returns
Real-valued result (as a double-precision floating point number) over the range [0, 1] where 0 represents the minimum programmable intensity level and 1 indicates the maximum. Note that the minimum intensity level might still allow the light source to produce light.
