RP1210_READDETAILED () Version: Notes

This function is called by the client application seeking to get detailed information about the vendor API and/or firmware of the device to which it is connected. This function returns an API vendor-specific string that is oftentimes helpful when debugging an application or a field installation problem. This is a new function to RP 1210B because RP1210_ReadVersion  did not provide information about the firmware that an adapter may have. Developers should call this function instead of the RP1210_ReadVersion  because it provides more data about the API/DLL and firmware. If an API is requested to process this request and does not have parameters associated for a field(s), the parameter will be returned as an empty string.

For example, a vendor may need to know more than just the major/minor information of their API. A couple of examples are: "2.5.02", "2.5", "3.22.A.109b" and "" (the NULL string).
