ReadFromPhysicalMemory
int ReadFromPhysicalMemory (unsigned int physicalAddress, void *destinationBuffer, unsigned int numberOfBytes);
Purpose
 |
Note This function is obsolete and always returns an error code of 0, which indicates failure. |
Copies the contents of a region of physical memory into the specified buffer.
ReadFromPhysicalMemory does not check whether the memory actually exists. If the memory does not exist, ReadFromPhysicalMemory returns the success value but does not read data.
|
Note ReadFromPhysicalMemory requires the LabWindows/CVI low-level support driver. LabWindows/CVI loads the driver at startup if it is on disk. You can check whether LabWindows/CVI loaded the driver at startup by calling CVILowLevelSupportDriverLoaded. The low-level support driver is not supported on 64-bit systems. Only applications running with administrator privileges on 32-bit systems can load the low-level support driver. |
