PACNET Library History

11/21/2012

INTRODUCTION
The XPAC SDK and WinPAC SDK have been unified and renamed as the PACSDK. The new PACSDK.dll provides support for two platforms, one being designed for the WinPAC series (ARM platforms) and the other for the XPAC series (x86 platforms).

The PACNET.dll is used for .Net CF programs (C#, VB) for both the XPAC and WinPAC series and replaces the previous SDKs (XPACNET.dll and WinPACNET.dll).

Below is a comparison of the new and previous SDK files

Items	WinPACSDK Library	XPACSDK (CE6) Library	PACSDK Library
Development Header Files	WinPacSDK.h	XPacSDK_CE.h	PACSDK.h PACSDK_PWM.h
Development Library Files	WinPacSDK.lib	XPacSDK_CE.lib	PACSDK.lib PACSDK_PWM.lib
Target Device Native DLL Files	WinPacSDK.dll	XPacSDK_CE.dll	PACSDK.dll PACSDK_PWM.dll
Target Device .NET CF DLL Files	WinPacNet.dll	XpacNet.dll	PACNET.dll

Other effects:
After releasing the PACSDK, the Original SDK (WinPacSDK.dll/WinPacNet.dll used for WinPAC series modules and XPacSDK_CE6.dll./XPacNet.dll used for XPAC series modules) will continue to be maintained and released regularly i.e., for any update patches, but no new features will be added.

[2/21/2013]
[Version 2.1.0 .4]

·  Added the ReadAO_MF, ReadModulePowerOnValueAO_MF and pac_ReadModuleSafeValueAO_MF functions.

[10/15/2012]
[Version 2.1.0 .2]

·  This is the first released version.

·  Made modifications and updates to the PACSDK.dll.

1. Updated the classification of the API function.
2. Added the pac_EnableLEDs function
3. Added a Registry API for the XPAC series
4. Added the I/O WDT and a PowerOn/Safe Value API for pure DIO modules
5. Added I/O access API functions for multi-function modules
6. Added the pac_GetCurrentDirectory and pac_GetCurrentDirectoryWAPI functions for the PACSDK
7. Added the reserved memory section for the XPAC series
8. Enumerated the error codes
9. Added a tooltip display feature for the classes of PACNET.dll

·         Added PWM API functions to the PACNET.dll

The PWM API functions only support the of I-7K/I-87K PWM modules exclusive of I-8K PWM modules

·         Error code modifications and updates
