Error Code Value

Return Status	Description	Value(HEX)	Value(DEC)
FT_COMMUNICATIONS_ERROR	Exception occured during transfer data between device and driver. Driver recerved an invalid response from the device. Rarely occur. Try again, reboot the machine and restart the application.	0x08	8
FT_INVALID_RESP_SIZE	Abnormal response received from the device. Rarely occur. Try again, reboot the machine and restart the application.	0x0D	13

ChangeDir

The ChangeDir method changes the current directory.

HRESULT

ChangeDir(
    [in] long lFlags,

    [in] long lDirID,

    [in[ unsigned char* pName,        );

Parameters

lFlags[in] A bit mask defining the options for directory. changing. You may use OR operation to enable one or more options :

Flag	Meaning
EPAS_DIR_BY_ID	When this flag is set, lDirID parameter contain ID of the directory to be changed into. This flag may be combined with EPAS_DIR_FROM_MF or EPAS_DIR_FROM_CUR_DF. lDirID must be a 16-bit directory ID.
EPAS_DIR_BY_LONG_ID	When this flag is set, lDirID parameter contain ID of the directory to be changed into. This flag may be combined with EPAS_DIR_FROM_MF, EPAS_DIR_FROM_CUR_DF, or EPAS_DIR_TO_PARENT.
EPAS_DIR_BY_NAME	When this flag is set, pName parameter contain Application Name of the directory to be changed into. This flag cannot combine with others.
EPAS_DIR_BY_GUID	When this flag is set, pName parameter contain Application GUID of the directory to be changed into. This flag cannot combine with others.
EPAS_DIR_BY_GUID_STR	When this flag is set, pName parameter contain Application GUID string of the directory to be changed into. This flag cannot combine with others.

OpenDevice

The OpenDevice method finds and opens an ePass1000 for exclusive access, and create a session between application and device for further operation.

HRESULT

OpenDevice(

    [in]long          lFlags,     [in]unsigned char* pAppID);

Requirement

epas_CreateContext

Parameters

lFlags

[in]This parameter defines a bit mask of options for opening a device. You may use bit-wise OR operation to select more than one option. This parameter can be a combination of one or more of the following flags:

Flag	Meaning
EPAS_OPEN_FIRST	Open the first found device. This flag can be combined with EPAS_OPEN_BY_NAME, EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID or EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID_STR.	0x00000000
EPAS_OPEN_NEXT	Open the next device. This flag can be combined with EPAS_OPEN_BY_NAME, EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID or EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID_STR.	0x00000001
EPAS_OPEN_CURRENT	Open the currently opened device. This flag can NOT be combined with other flags.	0x00000002
EPAS_OPEN_SPECIFIC	Open the device, that has same serial number value as which specified by pAppID parameter. This flag can NOT be combined with other flags.	0x00000003
EPAS_OPEN_BY_NAME	Open the device containing a directory name pointed to by pAppID. This parameter may be combined with EPAS_OPEN_FIRST or EPAS_OPEN_NEXT.	0x00000100
EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID	Open the device containing a directory GUID as specified by pAppID. This flag must combined with EPAS_OPEN_FIRST or EPAS_OPEN_NEXT.	0x00000200
EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID_STR	Open the device containing a directory GUID as specified by pAppID. This flag must combined with EPAS_OPEN_FIRST or EPAS_OPEN_NEXT.	0x00000300

pAppID

[in]This optional parameter provide additional information for the open. This parameter is only used if one of the following flags is assigned. If none of the flags below are assigned, pAppID should be set to NULL.

Flag	Meaning
EPAS_OPEN_SPECIFIC	pAppID point to an array of two unsigned longs which specified serial number of the device to be opened. Use GetProperty function to obtain a device's serial number.
EPAS_OPEN_BY_NAME	pAppID point to a NULL terminated string that specifies the Application Directory Name to open. If a device is opened, the current directory will be set to the directory ID defined by the Application Directory Name.
EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID	pAppID point to an array of 16 bytes that specified the Application Directory GUID to open. If a device is opened, the current directory will be set to the directory ID defined by the Application Directory GUID.
EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID_STR	pAppID point to a NULL terminated string that specifies the Application Directory GUID to open. If a device is opened, the current directory will be set to the directory ID defined by the Application Directory GUID. The string format is "{xxxxxxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxx}". Dashes and braces are optional.

 

Remarks

The order of devices opened (first and next) is based on the order they were detected by the system. To enumerate all devices connected to the system, use EPAS_OPEN_FIRST and EPAS_OPEN_NEXT until FT_UNIT_NOT_FOUND is returned.

Application access to ePass1000 is exclusive. Only one application can open an ePass1000 at one time. If any other application attempt to open this ePass1000, will get return code FT_DEVICE_IN_USE.

You can open specific ePass1000 by combining EPAS_OPEN_FIRST, EPAS_OPEN_NEXT flags with EPAS_OPEN_BY_NAME , EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID, or EPAS_OPEN_BY_GUID_STR.

If you known serial number of the ePass1000 you intend to open, use EPAS_OPEN_SPECIFIC.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, FT_SUCCESS returned.

If the library failed to open the device driver, FT_CANNOT_OPEN_DRIVER is returned.

If the library do not support version of the driver, FT_INVALID_DRVR_VERSION is returned.

If there is no device connected to the system currently, FT_UNIT_NOT_FOUND is returned.

If the device is already opened by another application, FT_DEVICE_IN_USE is returned.

For a list of all return codes, see Error Code Values.
