Introduction

The Quanser Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) C API allows Quanser hardware to be accessed directly from C, such as the powerful Q8 hardware-in-the-loop board. The Quanser HIL C API lets you access the hardware the way you want to. Use the immediate I/O functions to read or write immediately to or from the hardware. Use the buffered I/O functions to read or write entire buffers of data to or from the hardware, or use the task functions to perform control, stream data and more. Finally, use the information functions to get information about the HIL API version, error codes, etc.
