3.2.4 Legacy mode

Legacy mode is designed to aid developers who have already written code for the serial version of the

TC-08 and are not yet ready to rewrite their code for the

Streaming

Get Single

modes available with

the USB version. The legacy support is going to be phased out and will eventually be removed from

the driver altogether. If you want full support in the future, use the Streaming or Get Single modes.

To allow code to be easily developed for both the serial version and the USB version of the TC-08, all

the function names have been changed. The

usb_tc08_legacy_set_channel

function no longer

supports offset and gain - this is now stored only as calibration information in the unit itself. The legacy

routines will be familiar if you previously used the serial TC-08, however, the following changes should

be made to convert legacy applications:

Reference the new Header file

Reference the new Library file

Place the new

DLL

in the directory of the application

Set the mains frequency

Run and stop the unit

Store a handle returned from

usb_tc08_open_unit

instead of using the serial port number
