After the DMA is complete, you must unlock the buffer. You can unlock the buffer using
the
DPMILock function, if you set regs.x.ax to 0x601, instead of 0x600.
• If you compile the DLL with the
/FPi or /FPc switches or with no /FP switches
(
/FPi is the default), the DLL uses the WIN87EM.DLL floating point emulator.
LabWindows/CVI does not use
WIN87EM.DLL. If the DLL uses WIN87EM.DLL, use the
following strategy in the DLL to prevent conflicts:
1. Structure the code so that all functions that perform any floating-point math have
known entry and exit points. Ideally, specify a particular set of exported entry
points as the only ways into the floating-point code.
2. Call the Windows SDK function
FPInit in each of these entry points. Store the
previous signal handler in a function pointer.
3. If the DLL has its own exception handler, call
signal to register the DLL’s own
signal handler.
4. Perform the floating-point math.
5. Upon exiting through one of the well-defined DLL exit points, call the Windows
SDK function
FPTerm to restore the previous exception handler and terminate
the DLL’s use of
WIN87EM.DLL.
