4.3.1 Interface IDtm

Available since FDT 1.2.0.0

Mandatory for:
Never implemented by:

This interface is the main interface of a DTM that supports FDT version 1.2 and older. Via this interface the DTM gets its initialization after the instantiation. The Frame Application uses the interface to set information, like communication interface or language, the DTM needs during runtime as well as to reset the DTM for release. At this time the DTM is not connected to an instance data set of a device. At this state the DTM can be asked for its static information like version, vendor, and its capabilities. If the DTM is initialized it can be asked for its instance independent supported functions.
