Preface
This manual explains in detail the functions provided by JP1/Base and the procedures used to extend the functions of JP1/Base during development of systems linked to JP1/Integrated Management.

■ Conventions: "Administrator permissions" as used in this manual

■ Conventions: Fonts and symbols
The following table explains the text formatting conventions used in this manual:
Text formatting |
Convention |
---|---|
Bold |
Bold characters indicate text in a window, other than the window title. Such text includes menus, menu options, buttons, radio box options, or explanatory labels. For example:
|
Italic |
Italic characters indicate a placeholder for some actual text to be provided by the user or system. For example:
Italic characters are also used for emphasis. For example:
|
Monospace |
Monospace characters indicate text that the user enters without change, or text (such as messages) output by the system. For example:
|
The following table explains the symbols used in this manual:
Symbol |
Convention |
---|---|
| |
In syntax explanations, a vertical bar separates multiple items, and has the meaning of OR. For example: A|B|C means A, or B, or C. |
{ } |
In syntax explanations, curly brackets indicate that only one of the enclosed items is to be selected. For example: {A|B|C} means only one of A, or B, or C. |
[ ] |
In syntax explanations, square brackets indicate that the enclosed item or items are optional. For example: [A] means that you can specify A or nothing. [B|C] means that you can specify B, or C, or nothing. |
... |
In coding, an ellipsis (...) indicates that one or more lines of coding have been omitted. In syntax explanations, an ellipsis indicates that the immediately preceding item can be repeated as many times as necessary. For example: A, B, B, ... means that, after you specify A, B, you can specify B as many times as necessary. |
() |
Parentheses indicate the range of items to which the vertical bar (|) or ellipsis (...) is applicable. |
This symbol is used to explicitly indicate a space. For example, AAABBB means that you must place a space between AAA and BBB. |
|
\ |
When a syntax character shown above is used as an ordinary character, a backslash is prefixed to the character. For example, \| means | as an ordinary character, not as a syntax character. |
■ Conventions: Version numbers
The version numbers of Hitachi program products are usually written as two sets of two digits each, separated by a hyphen. For example:
-
version 1.00 (or version 1.0) is written as 01-00
-
version 2.05 is written as 02-05
-
version 2.50 (or version 2.5) is written as 02-50
-
version 12.25 is written as 12-25
The version number might be shown on the spine of a manual as Ver. 2.00, but the same version number would be written in the program as 02-00.
■ JP1/Base installation folder for Windows
This manual refers to the JP1/Base installation folder in Windows as follows:
Product name |
Reference to installation folder |
Installation folder# |
---|---|---|
JP1/Base |
installation-folder |
system-drive:\Program Files (x86)\HITACHI\JP1Base |
Example:
This manual uses the following convention to represent the full path of the JevApi.h header file needed to compile a source file:
installation-folder\include\JevApi.h
