Software: SeaMAX API Documentation

Windows SeaMAX API Documentation

Sealevel digital and analog I/O modules supported by the SeaMAX software suite are designed to work with third party applications via the SeaMAX API. To help simplify application development, the following documentation details the functions of the SeaMAX API. To help you get started, example code is included for popular languages and compilers.

There are four modules that are included in the SeaMAX API:

  • SeaMAX API
    The foundation of SeaMAX with functions for configuring, interfacing, and modifying supported Sealevel digital I/O modules and devices.
  • SeaMAX Ethernet Discovery / Configuration API
    The Ethernet module contains functions related to the discovery and configuration of Sealevel I/O devices with an Ethernet interface.
  • SeaDAC Lite Discovery API
    The SeaDAC Lite module contains the programmatic functions for locating and identifying SeaDAC Lite modules.
  • Version 2.x Deprecated Interface
    SeaMAX v3 has been completely rewritten with a focus on increasing speed and improving reliability. This module provides backwards compatibility with legacy SeaMAX v2 code.
