API#

This document is intended to aid the data collection programmer in developing software that controls and reads out data from all XIA x-ray processors. Handel provides a high level interface to the hardware, requiring as little knowledge about the hardware as is reasonable by the end-user.

The Handel library is written in ANSI C and has no dependencies other than the C standard library and hardware device drivers. XIA provides device drivers for Windows. Device driver availability on other platforms varies and depends in part on end user implementation.
