VisualBasic Style Prototypes

The document discusses various functions for initializing devices, reading and writing data, and controlling scanning modes. It provides code examples for declaring functions from the LL_USB.DLL file for initializing devices, getting single conversions of data, starting and ending scans, and checking device status. The functions allow controlling data acquisition from USB devices in a threaded or non-threaded manner.
