mcl_pm64.dll - 64 bit COM Object for programmers under 64 bit operating system - Support Power Sensor PWR-SEN-6GHS+ & PWR-SEN-8GHS+.

mcl_pm64 DLL file can be used by programmers of Microsoft Visual Studio (Visual Basic, C#, Visual C++)
or any other program that recognize 64 bit com DLL file.

mcl_pm64.dll file should be loaded to the project as a reference file.

The DLL file include the following Functions:

1. Long Open_Sensor(Optional *string SN)  :

SN parameter is needed in case of using more than 1 Power Sensor - connecting to the computer
SN is the Serial Number of the Power Sensor

in C# and C++ SN string must be exist and can be ="" if only one sensor is connected.

A replacment function "Open_AnySensor()" can be used In case of using only one Power Sensor.

The function return a Value
             0=Fail to open Sensor
             1=Success
             2=Object is already open 
             3=SN is not Available

2. Float ReadPower()   - Return the power Value
3. Int GetStatus()     - Return  1=Connect or  0=disconnect
4. Void Close_Sensor()
5. string GetSensorSN() - Return the Sensor Serial Number
6. Float GetDeviceTemperature(Optional TemperatureFormat As String) 
   TemperatureFormat - optional parameter : "F" for Fahrenheit "C" (Default) for Celsius
7. Long Get_Available_SN_List(*string SN_List)

   SN_List return with List of all available Serial Numbers: [SN1] [SN2] ...
   

The DLL file object has the following Properties:

Freq : the CAl Freq in MHz
AVG  : 1=ON 0=OFF
AvgCount: the No of Avg Count
Format_mW: if true the ReadPower result will be in mW


program Example in VB.Net:

' mcl_pm64.dll should be loaded as a reference file to the project project
 Dim pm1 As New mcl_pm64.usb_pm, Status As Short
        Dim SN As String = "" 'if more then 1 sensor connected to the computer than the Serial Number of the sensor should provide
        Dim ReadResult As Single
        Status = pm1.Open_Sensor(SN)  
        pm1.Freq = 3000       ' Set the Frequency cal factor in MHz
        ReadResult = pm1.ReadPower() ' read the power in dbm
        pm1.Close_Sensor()

program Example in C#:

 // mcl_pm64.dll should be loaded as a reference file to the project project
  double ReadResult;
  mcl_pm64.usb_pm pm1 = new mcl_pm64.usb_pm();
  short Status = 0;
  string pm_SN = ""; //if more then 1 sensor connected to the computer than the Serial Number of the sensor should provide
  Status  = pm1.Open_Sensor(ref(pm_SN));   
    pm1.Freq = 3000;      // Set the Frequency cal factor in MHz
    ReadResult= pm1.ReadPower() ; // read the power in dbm
    pm1.Close_Sensor();  

program Example in Visual C++:

 // mcl_pm64.dll should be loaded as a reference file to the project project
 mcl_pm64::usb_pm ^pm1 = gcnew mcl_pm64::usb_pm();
 short Status = 0;
 System::String ^SN = ""; //if more then 1 sensor connected to the computer than the Serial Number of the sensor should provide
 float ReadResult = 0;
 Status = pm1->Open_Sensor(SN);  // create a Connection to the sensor
 pm1->Freq = 3000;       // Set the Frequency cal factor in MHz
 ReadResult = pm1->ReadPower(); // read the power in dbm
 pm1->Close_Sensor();
