std::runtime_error

This method MUST be used before the controller will respond to any commands other than Test Data Link, Read Memory, and Write Memory. The SetupController() method incorporates this method and may be used in place of this and several other methods. Exceptions can be caught using a try/catch block.

        // This code demonstrates how to load a timing file.

        #include <iostream.h>
        #include "CController.h"
        using namespace std;
        using namespace arc;

        CController cController;

        // .... open driver, initialize, etc ....

        try {
            cController.LoadControllerFile( "C:\\tim.lod" );
        }
        catch ( std::exception &e )
        {
            cerr << "Exception Occurred: " << e.what() << endl;
        }
