How To Compile CURI FAmodule in CentOS 7.2 with U1709 64-Bit OS and CURI 1.21

Note that this instruction is tested only with the following system and software versions:

OS: CentOS 7.2
Unison: U1709
Curi: CURI_1.12_2.121.x86_64

1. edit your project.makefile to look like this:

TARGET_MINOR_VERSION = 1

SO_TARGET = fademo_hooks.so

# -- Start of project files --
PROJECT_SOURCES = fademo_attach.cpp \
fademo_hooks.cpp  \

PROJECT_HEADERS   = fademo_hooks.h \

NO_PTHREAD=true
MBITS=64
PROJECT_INCLUDE_PATHS = -DLINUX_TARGET -DLINUX -DUNISON -I. -I/ltx/include 
PROJECT_LIBRARIES=-Wl,-rpath,/ltx/lib$(MBITS) -L/ltx/lib$(MBITS) -levxa

ifeq ("$(BUILD_OS)", "Linux")
CFLAGS:=-DLINUX_TARGET
endif

LDFLAGS:=

prepare:

Note the "MBITS=64" added

2. update all "long" arguments in fademo_hooks.h, fademo_attach.cpp, fademo_hooks.cpp to FA_LONG and "unsigned long" to FA_ULONG if any

3. use this command to compile > gmake CFG=Release MBITS=64 MBITS_CURI=64

4. after compiling as above, the .so files are stored in ~Release/ folder. rename Release to Release64 

5. update CURI config file /opt/ateTools/curi/unison/config/curi_conf.xml to point to this FAmodule:

<CURI_CONF>
    <Config Configuration_ID="DefaultConfiguration">
        <ConfigEnv Equipment_Path="/opt/ateTools/curi/unison/lib" Communications_Path="/opt/ateTools/curi/unison/lib" User_Path="/home/localuser/Desktop/famodule/Release"/>
        <CommunicationsList>
            <GPIB_IF>
                <Settings>
                    <stringSetting token="IbcAUTOPOLL" value="0"/>
                </Settings>
            </GPIB_IF>
            <RS232_IF/>
            <TTL_IF/>
            <TTL_IF DriverID="ASL PCI PORT" AccessName="ASL_XP_TTL" Library="curi_asl_ttl" />
            <TTL_IF DriverID="ASL AT PORT" AccessName="ASL_NT_TTL" Library="curi_asl_ttl" />
            <TCPIP_IF Port="65000"/>
            <USB_IF/>
        </CommunicationsList>
    </Config>

    <UserLibrary AccessName="Demo famodule" Library="fademo_hooks">
        <Settings>
    <stringSetting token="Module Type" value="FAPROC Module"/>
    <stringSetting token="Priority" value="50"/>
        </Settings>
    </UserLibrary>

Where /home/localuser/Desktop/famodule/Release is the path (without the '64' suffix) where your Famodule .so file is located and fademo_hooks is the name of the .so file

6. make sure to relaunch Unison

How To Compile EVXA (cxx_examples) Code In Any Terminal In Unison

Copy the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env parameter on Unison's xterm (Optool>Tools>Xterm) and add it as first line in makefile. Below is example

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/ltx/releases/U4.2.B4/x86_64_linux_2.6.32/customer/lib:/opt/ltx/releases/U4.2.B4/x86_64_linux_2.6.32/customer/lib:/opt/ltx/releases/U4.2.B4/x86_64_linux_2.6.32/lib/VX6/FX1:/opt/ltx/releases/U4.2.B4/x86_64_linux_2.6.32/lib/VX6

CC=/usr/bin/g++

CFLAGS=-m32 -fpermissive -g -Wall -Wno-return-type -Wno-unknown-pragmas -DLINUX_TARGET

LFLAGS=-m32 -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lrt

Understanding Loaded and Selected Sites in EVXA /EIM

ProgramControl.getNumberLoadedSites()
- returns the number of defined sites in Adapter Object of the test program + 1


ProgramControl.getNumberSelectedSites()
- returns the number of sites (selected or not selected in bin tool) from site 1 up to maximum site that is active (selected in bin tool) + 1
- say 4-site is [1101] where site 3 is inactive. return value is 5
- say 4-site is [1010] where sites 2 and 4 are inactive, return value is 4
- say 4-site is [0110] where sites 1 and 4 are inactive, return value is 4

- say 4-site is [0001] where sites 1, 2, and 3 are inactive, return value is 5

ProgramControl.getLoadedSites()

- returns a a pointer to an array of sites that are defined in Adapter Object of the test program

- site 1 is referenced to array [1] and array[0] does not really define a site
- the size of the array it points to is the return value of getNumberLoadedSites()

ProgramControl.getSelectedSites()

- returns a a pointer to an array of sites from site 1 to last site that is active (selected in bin tool)
- if no site is selected in bin tool, returns 0 ***

- site 1 is referenced to array [1] and array[0] does not really define a site
- the size of the array it points to is the return value of getNumberSelectedSites()
