DAPL Commands

The DAPL system accepts commands that configure concurrent operation of input sampling, output updating, and data processing. Additional data processing commands can be built using the Developer's Toolkit for DAPL and a C++ compiler. The controls technology pages and DSP technology pages suggest some possibilities.

For an alphabetical list of the commands, and complete information about each one, download the DAPL 2000 Manual (1.27MB, PDF) or the DAPL 3000 Manual (1.57MB, PDF).
