Performing Adaptor and Device SDK Initialization
3-7
Performing Adaptor and Device SDK Initialization
Every adaptor must include an initializeAdaptor() function. In this function, you
should perform any initialization required by your adaptor or your device's SDK. Check
the documentation that came with your device to find out what, if any, initialization the
SDK requires.
For example, some device SDKs provide a function that loads required DLLs into
memory. Not every device's SDK requires initialization; however, every adaptor must
include the initializeAdaptor() function, even if it is an empty implementation.
Note You do not perform device initialization in this function. For information about
performing device initialization, see “Opening and Closing Connection with a Device” on
page 5-10.
Example
As defined by the adaptor kit, the initializeAdaptor() function accepts no
arguments and does not return a value. The following example implements an empty
initializeAdaptor() function.
void initializeAdaptor()
{
// Perform initialization required by adaptor or device SDK.
}
