GAddresses()

string[] gclib.GAddresses ( )

inline

Return a string array of available connection addresses.

Returns

String array containing all available Galil Ethernet controllers, PCI controllers, and COM ports.

void gclib.GAssign ( string ip, string mac )

inline

Assigns IP address over the Ethernet to a controller at a given MAC address.

Parameters

ip	The ip address to assign. The hardware should not yet have an IP address.
mac	The MAC address of the hardware.

GClose()

void gclib.GClose ( )

inline

Used to close a connection to Galil hardware.

Wrapper around gclib GClose(), http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/all/doc/gclib/html/gclib_8h.html#a24a437bcde9637b0db4b94176563a052 Be sure to call GClose() whenever a connection is finished.

GInfo()

string gclib.GInfo ( )

inline

Provides a useful connection string.

Wrapper around gclib GInfo(), http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/all/doc/gclib/html/gclibo_8h.html#a08abfcff8a1a85a01987859473167518

GIpRequests()

string[] gclib.GIpRequests ( )

inline

Provides a list of all Galil controllers requesting IP addresses via BOOT-P or DHCP.

Returns

Each line of the returned data will be of the form "model, serial_number, mac".

Wrapper around gclib GIpRequests(), http://www.galil.com/sw/pub/all/doc/gclib/html/gclibo_8h.html#a0afb4c82642a4ef86f997c39a5518952 An empty array is returned on error. Call will take roughly 5 seconds to return.

GOpen()

void gclib.GOpen ( string address )

inline

Used to open a connection to Galil hardware.

Parameters

address

Address string including any connection switches. See gclib documentation for GOpen().
