 GetFileName() retrieves the name of the n
th
file in the directory containing binary log files.
 GetPreferences retrieves API preference settings for time stamp data, analog temperature data, and CJC
temperature data. Returns the default values unless changed using SetPreferences().
 GetSampleInfo() retrieves the sample interval, sample count, and the date and time of the first data point
in a binary file.
 ReadAIChannels() retrieves analog input data from a binary file, and stores the values in an array.
 ReadCJCChannels() retrieves CJC temperature data from a binary file, and stores the values in an array.
 ReadDIOChannels()retrieves digital I/O channel data from a binary file, and stores the values in an array.
 ReadTimeTags() retrieves date and time values logged in a binary file. This method stores date values in
the dateTags array, and time values in the timeTags array.
 SetPreferences() sets formatting preferences for returned time stamp data, analog data, and CJC
temperature data.
The following code examples demonstrate how to use the GetFileName()method from within a Universal
Library program to retrieve the name of a binary log file:
Visual Basic
Status = DataLogger.GetFileName(MccService.GetFirst, path, filename)
C#
status = DataLogger.GetFileName(MccService.GetFirst, ref path,
ref filename);
MccDaq enumerations
The MccDaq Namespace contains enumerated values which are used by many of the methods available from
the MccDaq classes (see Table 1). Refer to specific method descriptions in the Universal Library Function
Reference for the values of each enumerated type. This document is available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-functions.pdf.
