This screenshot shows what was produced by sample code that is shown further down this page. Note that for the minimal sample app shown here, there was no need for me to add a button to set the COM port, since the default is COM-1 which is the one I used.  The  default configuration is explained within the documentation elsewhere, as well as the sample code shown further down this page.

 // Demonstrates initializing to a  polled mode  state with default configuration.

 // To begin, you must create a new C# project. To do so, open VisualStudio and select:
 //        file -> new -> Visual C# -> Windows -> Windows Application
 // The application wizard, should present you with a new blank form named "Form1"

 // For this example to make sense, you will need to create the followwing.
 //    Four buttons. Name them,  btnConnect201,  btnSetCOM,  btnSetChan,  btnGetConv
 //    Four text boxes. Name them,  txtRetVal,  txtPort,  txtPollChan,  txtVoltage

 // Shown first below, are the modules that I used in my sample application. You may not
 //   need all of them, but it may be best to include them unless you are sure you will
 //   not need them with whatever you decide to extend the code that's shown below.

 NOTES:
 No need to call EX_SetCOMport  if you are connected to COM-1 since that is already
 set as the COM port by the DLL. Also regarding the COM port, it's important to remember
 that the call expects a zero-based port - in other words to set COM-1, use EX_SetCOMport( 0 );

 The same zero-base mentioned above is used for all. So to set the first channel, you would
 use  EX_SetPolledModeChan( 0 ); 

 The call to   EX_SetPolledModeChan ( . . . )  requires that you pass both a main and sub-channel.
 However, unless a multiplexer is connectd, the sub-channel value is ignored.

Screenshots of CSharp Scanning Example Application
after loading sample application		after getting one scan
This sample application will retrieve one scan each time the GetScanData button is pressed. The GetOneScan button can also be pressed once to give it focus and then the keyboard  ENTER held down to read continuously. Finally, the reading of the scan data can be placed in a thread or timer to read whenever data is ready by calling  EX_GetScanDataDbl  once with  uiNumScansToReturn  set to zero and then a second time with  uiNumScansToReturn  set to whatever was returned by previous call in variable pointed to by  puiNumScansInBuff
