19 Working with the API
NOTE: To use the API interface, the STwrench must be equipped with a RBU that supports the
API. See the chapter RBU for more information of the different RBUs available.
The API, Application Programmers Interface, is an interface with the STwrench that makes it possible to
access data in the STwrench units from custom-made applications.
This chapter gives an overview of the API functionality; for more information of the API operations refer
to the STwrench API Technical Documentation included in the API installation CD.
The STwrench API is a software library that serves as the interface between the custom application and
the actual STwrench units. This means that it exports a number of objects and methods that the custom
application can access in order to manipulate the STwrench units.
