Programming Automation via DLL

Names of all the ACI objects (functions and structures) always begin from the prefix ACI. Names of the
structure patterns complete with the suffix _Params.
Numbers of the memory buffers and layers in buffers begin from zero. All addresses have a 64-bit format
and are presented by two 32-bit halves of this address (low and high) to be the compiler-independent.
For example, if the compiler recognizes the uint64 type of data then the function, which assigns a 64-bit
memory buffer address in the structure ACI_Memory_Params, the function call can be presented as:
ACI_Memory_Params params;
*((uint64 *)params.AddressLow) = 0x123456789ABC;
In most cases, in a process of the programming being under control of the external application it is not
necessary to make visible the ChipProgUSBChipProgUSB GUI. However, it may be necessary to unhide
the programmer GUI, or just some windows and dialogs, for setting up the programming environment and
for the debugging purposes (for example, for selecting the target device, loading the file, etc.). Then the
ChipProgUSB user interface can be hidden to free more display space for the controlling application.

ACI Functions
In order to set up and control a ChipProg tool the program running on the instrumental computer calls
the Application Control InterfaceApplication Control Interface functions requires structures that specify
memory locations, pointers and other objects affiliated with the called function while other functions do
not require any structures. Here is the list of the ChipProg Application Control Interface functions:
