=== ThinkGearStreamParser C API ===
e inkGearStreamParser API is a library which implements the parsing procedure described above

and abstracts it into two simple functions, so that the programmer does not need to worry about

parsing Packets and DataRows at all. All that is left is for the programmer to get the bytes from the

data stream, stuff them into the parser, and then de􀃫ne what their program does with the Value[]

bytes from each DataRow that is received and parsed.

e source code for the inkGearStreamParser API is provided as part of the MindSet Development

Tools (MDT), and consists of a .h header 􀃫le and a .c source 􀃫le. It is implemented in pure ANSI C

for maximum portability to all platforms (including microprocessors).

Using the API consists of 3 steps:

1. De􀃫ne a data handler (callback) function which handles (acts upon) Data Values as they're

received and parsed.

2. Initialize a ThinkGearStreamParser struct by calling the THINKGEAR_initParser() function.

3. As each byte is received from the data stream, the program passes it to the THINKGEAR_parseByte()

function. is function will automatically call the data handler function de􀃫ned in 1) whenever

a Data Value is parsed.

e following subsections are excerpts from the ThinkGearStreamParser.h header 􀃫le, which serves

as the API documentation.
