ctfici_attr	Obtain CT, FI, and CI attributes for an CT, FI, CI driver.
device_attr	Scan the handlers member of the system attributes data structure to determine what devices are present, what the channel assignments are, and what handlers or drivers must be spawned.
di_attr	Obtain DI attributes for a DI driver.
di_intg_xfer	Convert continuous raw data to INTEGER_VARIABLE values according to the specifications found in the transfer layer data structure (DI_INTG_TRANSFER). This is the mainline of the digital input integer transfer process.
di_logi_xfer	Convert continuous raw data to LOGICAL_VARIABLE values according to the specifications found in the transfer layer data structure (DI_LOGI_TRANSFER). This is the mainline of the digital input transfer process.
di_specs	Process digital input specifications.
do_attr	Access the DO attributes specified and place them in the specified area of shared memory for DO attributes.
do_logi_xfer	Convert application layer variables to raw data according to the specifications found in the transfer layer data structures. This is the mainline of the digital output transfer process.
do_pwm_transfer	Provide PWM on a Digital Out Bit.
do_specs	Process digital output specifications.
do_word_xfer	Convert Variable Table Layer variables of integer or real type to raw data according to the specifications found in the Transfer Layer data structures. This is the mainline of the digital output word transfer process.
eblox_sim	Simulate a Gantner device without needing any hardware for another system.
eblox_srvr	Allow other tasks access to the eblox devices.
ecat_mon	Map EtherCAT variables to Cyflex variables.
ecat_srvr	Allow other tasks to access the EtherCAT devices.
fici_specs	Process frequency and counter input specifications.
fici_xfer	Convert all frequency and counter input channels of a certain process interval from raw counts to engineering units.
get_mv	Get the millivolt value of an input channel.
get_raw	Get the raw counts of an input channel.
gmodbus	Use a CyFlex variable interface to and from multiple Modbus RTU/TCP compliant slaves.
init_ai_counters	Read the engineering values which correspond to a counter channel from disk and send configuration messages to the ai_transfer task, commanding it to grab the raw value from the continuous raw data buffer and to save it as the initial value along with the engineering value contained in the configuration message.
modbus_srvr_serial	Communicate with a modbus protocol slave device via serial similar to how GModBus works. Use this instead of GModBus when desiring to calibrate your hardware channels.
modbus_srvr_tcp	Communicate with a modbus protocol slave device via TCP similar to how GModBus works. Use this instead of GModBus when desiring to calibrate your hardware channels.
modbus_slave	Create a modbus slave which can then interact with a modbus server and store data directly from CyFlex variables from the modbus protocol registers.
mv2eng	Convert a millivolt value to engineering units for a designated channel.
newchan	Activate a new input channel.
noise_check	Statistical evaluation at input channels
overrange	Log range violation occurrences as set by ai_transfer. It should be started in the go.scp startup script prior to launching of ‘ai_transfer’
pmx_coe
raw_noise	Call the initialization function to build specifications for the “average” task which will handle gathering of the data and then waits for the event which signals the data is complete.
rels_cont	Release continuous variables.
reset_di_bit	Attach digital input bits to logical channels.
reset_do_bit	Attach digital output bits to logical channels.
restrt_cont	Restart continuous variables.
set_di_bit	Attach some digital input bits to logical channels.
set_do_bit	Attach some digital output bits to logical channels.
set_mv	Simulate changing analog input signals in a system which does not have “continuous” analog input running.
snapio_puc	Force a power-up-clear of a single or all snapio brains. DO NOT run unless cell is in safe state.
snapio_reset	Force a hardware reset of a single or all snapio brains. DO NOT run unless cell is in safe state.
snapio_sim	Simulate snapio devices without needing any hardware for the system.
snapio_srvr	Allow other tasks to access the snapio devices. A single task is used to allow for the use of UDP streaming from the snapio hardware.
snapio_sta	Read and print the status area for a snapio brain given the IP address.
snapio_type	Interrogate the snapio server to examine the 16 module positions on a rack and will print the basic ‘type’ and the configuration ‘IO_type’ of those modules. The program may be launched with a command line argument to indicated the rack index for different IO racks.
