Overview

The API buffer can store most API function calls from the WMX3 library and execute them sequentially in a nearly deterministic manner.

If API functions are called directly from a Windows application, there may be slight to moderate delays in the execution timing because Windows is not a real time operating system (these delays can be avoided by developing applications that run under the RTX operating system: Support for user application development running only on a real-time OS). By storing API function calls beforehand in the API buffer, these delays can be avoided and API functions executed sequentially at timings that are precise to the communication cycle.
