The C program uses our specific API's that we've
developed in our software drivers. These API's are
used to send commands to our hardware out the parallel
port of the PC. I am tested the API commands, and
making sure that they send the correct values with the
C program.
For a long term goal I would love to be able to do
this all from a perl script. But I need access to
these C API's. They are what I'm testing through the
C program.
For a short term goal I need a way to automate the C
program so I don't need to do everything by hand.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Tina
