Function iseg_connect

Connects the isegHAL via the specified hardware interface to the iseg devices.

IsegResult iseg_connect(const char *name, const char *interface, void *reserved)

name is a free user selectable label to identify the connection (for example "IF0").
This label is used for all following function calls to set and get.
interface can0, can1, .. can15; (in future designated usb0, usb1; com1; ip_address)
The string value "test" for name and interface is forbidden.
reserved is reserved for future applications, at the moment a zero pointer should be used.
Return value is ISEG_OK for a successful connection.
If the return value is unequal to zero, an error occurred and the connection failed.

Supported Interfaces

The currently supported interfaces are:

Linux: All CAN interfaces compatible to SocketCAN
The can interfaces are named "can0", "can1" .. "can15".
Windows: Peak and Systec CAN interfaces compatible to QtSerialBus
The connection string is in the form driver#interface@bitrate, e.g. "peakcan#usb1@250000".
The following interfaces are supported by the different drivers:

Examples:

iseg_connect("can0", "iseg-edpc://can0", NULL);	Linux: Local CAN connection on first CAN line
iseg_connect("can0", "iseg-edpc://peakcan#pci0@250000", NULL);	Windows: Local CAN connection on first CAN line of PCAN PCI card
iseg_connect("shq0", "shq://COM17", NULL);	SHQ or NHQ by RS-232
iseg_connect("usb0", "scpi://ttyUSB0", NULL);	MICC, NHS or HPS by USB (SCPI protocol)
iseg_connect("eth0", "scpi://192.168.168.13:10001", NULL);	MICC or HPS by Ethernet (SCPI protocol)
iseg_connect("eth1", "hal://ics.iseg-hv.com:1454/can0,user,pass", NULL);	HAL-service running on a CC24 or iCSmini (HAL protocol)
iseg_connect("eth2", "snmp://192.168.16.245", NULL);	MPOD by Ethernet (SNMP protocol)
