2.13.2 Support
The TetraFlex API is the connection tool for the DAMM dispatcher application. The API itself
is fully documented in the TetraFlexApi.h file, which can be used of third party vendors to
create their own Applications.
The use of the API demands a combination of Tetra knowledge and programming skills. The
API itself is an offer so users may be able to create their own applications e.g. their own
Dispatcher.
API programming is not directly supported, but specific questions will be answered by DAMM
support.
2.13.3 Compatibility
The API will be kept backward compatible, so that new versions of the TetraFlexApi.dll will
support all methods contained in earlier released versions. That ensures that new
TetraFlexApi.dll versions coming with new system software releases will always work
together with GUI Applications written for earlier versions
2.13.4 Test applications
The SW package also includes an API toolkit SW programmed in C++, C# and Delphi for
testing the different API calls without having to write an application.

o The Node Dongle must allow API
