<P>
The following are some example calls to the above functions. Note that
it is assumed that the connection to <TT>xrtic</TT> has been established
elsewhere:

<P>

<OL>
<LI>To check whether the connection to the embedded tasks has been established by <TT>xrtic</TT>, we check the value of the ``connect_flag'':<PRE>
  int connect_flag;
  rtic_get_flag_connect(&amp;connect_flag);
  printf(``The connection is '');
  if (connect_flag)
  {
    printf(``Up\n'');
  }
  else
  {
    printf(``Down\n'');
  }
</PRE>

<P>
</LI>
<LI>To get the value of a parameter:<PRE>
  float ftmp;
  int ID;

  ID = 2;
  rtic_get_scalar(ID,&amp;ftmp);
  printf(``The value of parameter %d is %f\n'',ID,ftmp);
</PRE>
Note that it is assumed that the ID submitted to <TT>rtic_get_scalar()</TT> is within range. The user is encouraged to use <TT>rtic_check_ID()</TT> to check all IDs.

<P>
</LI>
<LI>To set the value of a scalar parameter:<PRE>
  rtic_set_scalar(2, 100.2);
</PRE>
Note: as of the time of this writing, there is no way to alter matrix values from a user's module.

<P>
</LI>
<LI>To read in the stream of data as generated by the embedded tasks (see <TT>RETURN_VAL()</TT> in the user's <TT>user_controller.c</TT> file) and then print it in the format
<BLOCKQUOTE>
[time][ratio][val0][val1]...[valN]:

</BLOCKQUOTE>
do the following:<PRE>
  struct data_struct *data;
  int index;

  data = (struct data_struct *) malloc(sizeof(struct data_struct));
  while(1)
  {
     rtic_get_data(data);

     printf("[%.2e][%i]", 
             (double)(data-&gt;time/1.0e9), 
             data-&gt;factor);
     for(index=0;index&lt;RTIC_MAX_DATA_BUF;index++)
       printf("[%.2e]", data-&gt;val[index]);
     printf("\n");
  }
</PRE>
</LI>
</OL>
