DLI API Course
The DLI API class is designed for customers who are programming
a client application to use the Data Link Interface (DLI) API to communicate
with a Freeway server.
The class provides tips on using the different interface
modes available in DLI (synchronous/asynchronous, normal/raw) as well as a
look at debugging client applications using the API and server tracing
facilities.
Class length is 1.5 to 2 days. This class can be extended to
provide API training for a specific protocol. DLI API reference manuals are
provided.
