Definition of the procedures

In this library we make to different programming interfaces available:

ROTOR_CALCULATION: With ROTOR_INPUT[8] the selection of the rotormatrix type is possible. Coding see
table of rotormatrix types.

ROTOR_CALCULATION_EX has an extended programming interface. Foil thickness, wave configuration and
rotormatrix type are selected with different input values. An additional output gives the type-key of the selected
rotor.

ROTOR_CALCULATION

type TROTOR_INPUT = array[1.. 9] of double;

TROTOR_OUTPUT = array[0..39] of double;

procedure ROTOR_CALCULATION(
var z1 : integer;
var z2 : integer;
var ROTOR_INPUT : TROTOR_INPUT;
var z3 : integer;
var z4 : integer;
var ROTOR_OUTPUT : TROTOR_OUTPUT
); stdcall;

- the type double consists of 8 byte.

- the type integer consists of 4 byte.

Rotor speed

The performance data for the rotortypes P, PT, E, ET and KT are valid for a rotor speed of 10 rpm, for the
rotortype NT (Sorption rotor HUgo) for 20 rpm. These settings are fixed in the software.

So that you can remain informed about further developments and supplements to our range of products and
can have the appropriate data at your disposal, you should not use this program for longer than twenty
months.

When this period has lapsed, you will be given an indication by the errormessage Code „-1“. Nevertheless the
calculation still will run. Please then request an up-to-date program.

We reserve the right to introduce changes and alterations without prior notice / 06-2009
