eValid -- eValid Programmatic Interface (EPI) -- Example Program #08
eValid Home

Example Program #08
This program illustrates the eValid EPI interface by implementing, entirely in CPP, it is a variant of one of our script-based "mapslive.evs" which is done entirely with index commands.

The program invocation would be as follows (there are no arguments): example08.exe

Program Source
Here is the CPP for the EPI program for this example. The EPI program generates the complete event log, similar to other EPI examples in this set.
