ZVx Switchover to Remote Control
1043.0009.50 3.5 E-15
3.3.3.2 Unix Environment
In order to access the measuring equipment via the RSIB interface, copy the librsib.so.X.Y file to a
directory for which the control application has read rights. X.Y in the file name indicates the version
number of the library, for example 1.0.
The librsib.so.X.Y library is created as a shared library. The applications using the library have
nothing to do with versions. They simply link the library with the lrsib option. The following instructions
have to be observed so that linking can be successfully performed and the library can be found during
the program run:
File link:
• Use the operating system command In to create a file with the link name librsib.so and pointing
to librsib.so.X.Y in a directory for which the control application has read rights. Example:
$ ln –s /usr/lib/librsib.so.1.0 /usr/lib/librsib.so
Linker options for creating applications:
• -lrsib : import library
• -Lxxx : path information where the import library can be found. This is where the above file link has
been created. Example: -L/usr/lib.
Additional linker options for creating applications (only under Solaris):
• -Rxxx: path information where the library is searched for during the program run:
-R/usr/lib.
Run-time environment:
• Set environment variable LD_RUN_PATH to the directory in which the file link has been created. This
is necessary only if librsib.so cannot be found in the standard search path of the operating
system and the -R linker option (only Solaris) was not specified.
For C/C++ programming, the declarations of the library functions and the definition of error codes are
contained in:
C/C++: 'RSIB.H' (D:\R_S\Instr\RSIB)
3.3.3.3 Indications during Remote Control
See Section 3.3.1.2.
3.3.3.4 Return to Manual Operation
The return to manual operation can be performed via the front panel (LOCAL key) or the RSIB interface.
Manually: ½ Press the LOCAL key.
Note: Before switchover, command processing must be completed as
otherwise switchover to remote control is effected immediately.
Via RSIB: ...
ud = RSDLLibloc (ud, ibsta, iberr, ibcntl);
