The G35DDC API SDK is implemented as a dynamic library (G35DDCAPI.dll). It provides object-oriented and non-object-oriented interface to control the G35DDC device. This document describes the object-oriented interface. The G35DDCAPI.dll library provides several object types which makes it possible to control G35DDC receivers.
The API is not fully thread-safe so preferably it should be used in single-threaded applications. It can be used in multi-threaded applications as well, but with some care: One G35DDC receiver can be controlled from a single user thread only.
A C/C++ header file G35DDCAPI.h is a part of the SDK. The API can be used by any 32-bit application under Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11 (including their 64-bit versions). The API can be used also by any 64-bit application but only under 64-bit versions of the supported operating systems.
The G35DDCAPI.dll library can be loaded to the application by two Microsoft Windows API functions. The first one is LoadLibrary and
the second one is LoadLibraryEx. After the library is loaded, it is necessary to get addresses of exported functions.
When the API is no longer required in the memory, the FreeLibrary function can be used to unload the API. Before the FreeLibrary is called, all the objects created using CreateInstance function must be freed releasing their interfaces using the Release method, otherwise the application can enter an unpredictable state.
The following source code shows how to load the API:
#include <stdio.h> #include "G35DDCAPI.h" G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE CreateInstance; HMODULE hAPI; void main(void) { //Loading the API hAPI=LoadLibrary("G35DDCAPI.dll"); if(hAPI!=NULL) { //Retrieving address of the CreateInstance function CreateInstance=(G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"CreateInstance"); //Here place code that uses the API FreeLibrary(hAPI); } else { //If the LoadLibrary fails printf("Failed to load G35DDCAPI.dll.\n"); } }
To enumerate available G35DDC devices the API provides an enumeration object. The object has to be created using the CreateInstance function. The following source code in C++ produces a list of serial numbers for the available G35DDC devices:
#include <stdio.h> #include "G35DDCAPI.h" void main(void) { G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE CreateInstance; HMODULE hAPI; IG35DDCDeviceEnumerator *Enumerator=NULL; G35DDC_DEVICE_INFO DevInfo; UINT32 Index; UINT32 Count; hAPI=LoadLibrary("G35DDCAPI.dll"); if(hAPI!=NULL) { CreateInstance=(G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"CreateInstance"); if(CreateInstance(G35DDC_CLASS_ID_DEVICE_ENUMERATOR,(void**)&Enumerator)) { Enumerator->Enumerate(); Count=Enumerator->GetCount(); if(Count!=0) { printf("Available G35DDC devices count=%d:\n",Count); for(Index=0;Index<Count;Index++) { Enumerator->GetDeviceInfo(Index,&DevInfo,sizeof(DevInfo)); printf("%d. SN: %s\n",Index,DevInfo.SerialNumber); } } else { printf("No available G35DDC device found.\n"); } Enumerator->Release(); } else { printf("Failed to create enumerator object. Error code=%08X\n",GetLastError()); } FreeLibrary(hAPI); } else { printf("Failed to load G35DDCAPI.dll.\n"); } printf("Press enter to exit\n"); getchar(); }
The API provides an object to control the G35DDC device. Before the device is open, the object has to be created using the CreateInstance function.
The following source code in C++ shows how to open the first available G35DDC device.
#include <stdio.h> #include "G35DDCAPI.h" void main(void) { G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE CreateInstance; HMODULE hAPI; IG35DDCDevice *Device; //Loading the API hAPI=LoadLibrary("G35DDCAPI.dll"); if(hAPI!=NULL) { //Retrieving address of the CreateInstance API functions CreateInstance=(G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"CreateInstance"); //Creating instance of the device object if(CreateInstance(G35DDC_CLASS_ID_DEVICE,(void**)&Device)) { //Opening the first available G35DDC device using predefined G3XDDC_OPEN_FIRST constant if(Device->Open(G3XDDC_OPEN_FIRST)) { //Here place code that works with the open G35DDC device //Closing device Device->Close(); } else { printf("Failed to open device. Error code=%08X\n",GetLastError()); } //Release interface of device object Device->Release(); } else { printf("Failed to create device object. Error code=%08X\n",GetLastError()); } FreeLibrary(hAPI); } else { //If the LoadLibrary fails printf("Failed to load G35DDCAPI.dll.\n"); } }
Creates single object of the specified class and returns interface of the object.
C/C++ declaration
INT32 __stdcall CreateInstance(UINT32 ClassId,PVOID *Interface);
Address retrieval
G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE CreateInstance=(G3XDDCAPI_CREATE_INSTANCE)GetProcAddress(hAPI,"CreateInstance");
Parameters
ClassId[in] Specifies class identifier of the object to be created. This parameter must be one of the following:
Value Meaning G35DDC_CLASS_ID_DEVICE_ENUMERATOR Class identifier of the enumerator object. When the function finished successfully, IG35DDCDeviceEnumerator interface is stored to a pointer variable pointed to by the Interface parameter. G35DDC_CLASS_ID_DEVICE Class identifier of the device object. When the function finished successfully, IG35DDCDevice interface is stored to pointer variable pointed to by the Interface parameter. Interface[out] Pointer to a variable that receives interface to newly created object of specified class. This parameter cannot be NULL.
Return value
If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
All the objects created using CreateInstance must be freed, releasing their interfaces using the Release method before the API is unloaded using the FreeLibrary function.
The CreateInstance function can be called in any user-thread. Returned interface can be used only in the same thread in which its object was created, otherwise the application can enter an unpredictable state.

In other words, DDC1 streaming which is started using the IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1 method has to be stopped using the IG35DDCDevice::StopDDC1 method before calling of SetDDC1, otherwise SetDDC1 fails. The SetDDC1 method does not start and stop DDC1 streaming, just changes the DDC type of DDC1.
Calling of SetDDC1 can change the current DDC type of DDC2 and current bandwidth of demodulator filter, so it is useful to call the IG35DDCDevice::GetDDC2 and IG35DDCDevice::GetDemodulatorFilterBandwidth methods immediately after SetDDC1 to determine the current DDC type of DDC2 and current bandwidth of demodulator filter.
Use the IG35DDCDevice::GetDDC1 method to determine the current DDC type of the DDC1.
Retrieves information about the current DDC type of the DDC1.

Starts DDC1 streaming.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall StartDDC1(UINT32 SamplesPerBuffer);
Parameters
SamplesPerBuffer[in] Specifies the number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1StreamCallback callback. If the current DDC1 type index (specified by the IG35DDCDevice::SetDDC1 method) is less than or equal to 23 (DDC1 bandwidth <= 4 MHz) the value of the SamplesPerBuffer has to be a multiple of 64. If the current the DDC1 type index is greater than 23 (DDC1 bandwidth > 4 MHz), the SamplesPerBuffers has to be a multiple of 1024. If it is zero, the IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1 method fails.
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The G35DDC device has to be turned on using the IG35DDCDevice::SetPower method before StartDDC1 is used. Otherwise StartDDC1 fails.
If the DDC1 streaming is already running before use of StartDDC1, StartDDC1 restarts the streaming except it was previously started with the same SamplesPerBuffer parameter. In this case StartDDC1 does nothing. Restart of DDC1 streaming stops DDC2 and audio streaming in each channel. StartDDC1 does not restart DDC2 and audio streaming.
If DDC1 playback is running (started using IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1Playback method) before use of StartDDC1, StartDDC1 stops it and starts DDC1 streaming from the device.
Use the IG35DDCDevice::StopDDC1 method to stop DDC1 streaming.
Decreasing the value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter decreases latency and may increase CPU usage. Increasing the value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter increases latency and may decrease CPU usage.
Stops DDC1 streaming.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall StopDDC1(void);
Parameters
None
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If DDC1 playback is running (started using IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1Playback) before use of StopDDC1, the StopDDC1 method stops it.
The StopDDC1 method stops all the streaming beyond the DDC1 in the processing chain (DDC2 and audio streaming in all the channels).
The IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1StreamCallback and IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback callback methods are not called after StopDDC1 returns.
Starts DDC1 playback. It allows to pass previously recorded DDC1 I/Q samples to the processing chain instead of the samples received from the device.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall StartDDC1Playback(UINT32 SamplesPerBuffer,UINT32 BitsPerSample);
Parameters
SamplesPerBuffer[in] Specifies the number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback callback to fill the buffer by the application and to the IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1StreamCallback callback. The value has to be a multiple of 64 greater than zero. If it is zero, the StartDDC1Playback method fails. If it is not a multiple of 64 the method rounds it up to the nearest multiple of 64.BitsPerSample[in] Specifies number of bits per I and Q samples. It is used for both IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback and IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1StreamCallback callback methods. The possible value is one of the following:
Value Meaning 0 I and Q samples have default number of bits. It is given by by BitsPerSample member of the G3XDDC_DDC_INFO structure which can be retrieved using the GetDDC1 or IG35DDCDevice::GetDDCInfo method. Possible values are 16 or 32 bits per sample, signed, little endian. 16 I and Q samples have 16 bit (16 bits per I, 16 bits per Q), signed, little endian. 32 I and Q samples have 32 bit (32 bits per I, 32 bits per Q), signed, little endian.
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The G35DDC device has to be turned on using IG35DDCDevice::SetPower method before use of StartDDC1Playback.
The StartDDC1Playback method stops DDC1 streaming which was previously started by the IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1 or StartDDC1Playback methods and starts DDC1 playback with new parameters. Stopping of DDC1 streaming stops DDC2 and audio steaming in each channel. StartDDC1Playback does not restart DDC2 and audio streaming.
Use the IG35DDCDevice::StopDDC1 method to stop DDC1 playback.
Pauses DDC1 playback.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall PauseDDC1Playback(void);
Parameters
None
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If DDC1 playback is not active or it is already paused, PauseDDC1Playback does nothing.
The IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1PlaybackStreamCallback and IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC1StreamCallback callback methods can be called by the API once after PauseDDC1Playback returns. Then they are not called until playback is resumed using the IG35DDCDevice::ResumeDDC1Playback method.
Resumes paused DDC1 playback.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall ResumeDDC1Playback(void);
Parameters
None
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If DDC1 playback is not active or it is not paused, ResumeDDC1Playback does nothing.
Retrieves information about the current DDC type of the DDC2.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall GetDDC2(UINT32 *DDCTypeIndex,G3XDDC_DDC_INFO *DDCInfo);
Parameters
DDCTypeIndex[out] Pointer to a variable that receives an index of the current DDC type of the DDC2. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.DDCInfo[out] Pointer to a G3XDDC_DDC_INFO structure to be filled with information about the current DDC type of the DDC2. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Each channel has its own DDC2, see the block diagram. DDC type of each DDC2 is the same and depends upon the DDC type of DDC1, it cannot be changed by the application directly. The DDC type of DDC2 is equal to the DDC type of DDC1 if DDC type index of DDC1 is less than or equal to 5 (sample rate: 80 kHz, bandwidth: 64 kHz, bits per sample: 32). If the DDC type index of DDC1 is above 5, the DDC type index of DDC2 is always 5. Changing of DDC type of DDC1 can cause a change of DDC type of DDC2, so it is useful to call GetDDC2 immediately after the SetDDC1 method to determine the current DDC type of DDC2 - if the application needs to know parameters of DDC2.
The BitsPerSample member of the G3XDDC_DDC_INFO structure is not used and it can be ignored for DDC2. I and Q samples in buffers passed to the IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC2StreamCallback and IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback DDC2 callback methods are always in IEEE float (32 bit, little endian) format.
Returned DDCTypeIndex can be passed to the IG35DDCDevice::GetDDCInfo method.
Sets the relative center frequency of DDC2 for given channel.
C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall SetDDC2Frequency(UINT32 Channel,INT32 Frequency);
Parameters
Channel[in] Specifies channel index. Possible values are: 0, 1, 2.Frequency[in] Specifies the new center frequency of DDC2 in Hz.
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The value of the Frequency parameter is center frequency of the DDC2 relative to center of the DDC1. The value can be negative.
The absolute frequency of the DDC2 is given by the following formula:
faDDC2[i] = fDDC1 + frDDC2[i]
Where faDDC2[i] is the absolute center frequency of DDC2 of i-th channel in Hz, fDDC1 is the center frequency of the DDC1 in Hz (set using the IG35DDCDevice::SetDDC1Frequency method) and frDDC2[i] is the relative center frequency of DDC2 of i-th channel in Hz (set using SetDDC2Frequency).
Changing of DDC2 'relative frequency' changes the 'absolute frequency' of the DDC2 and demodulator in the specified channel.
Use the IG35DDCDevice::GetDDC2Frequency method to determine the current relative center frequency of the DDC2 for given channel.
The following example shows three methods of how it is possible to set the absolute DDC2 center frequency of channel 0 to 11.01 MHz:
IG35DDCDevice *Device; //Interface of the G35DDC device object, created using CreateInstance function //1. method Device->SetDDC1Frequency(11010000); Device->SetDDC2Frequency(0,0); //2. method, it can be used if bandwidth of DDC2 is less than bandwidth of DDC1 Device->SetDDC1Frequency(11000000); Device->SetDDC2Frequency(0,10000); //3. method, it can be used if bandwidth of DDC2 is less than bandwidth of DDC1 Device->SetDDC1Frequency(11020000); Device->SetDDC2Frequency(0,-10000);
Retrieves the current relative center frequency of DDC2.
C/C++ declaration

Parameters
Channel[in] Specifies channel index. Possible values are: 0, 1, 2.Frequency[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the current relative center frequency of DDC2 in Hz.

C/C++ declaration
BOOL __stdcall StartDDC2(UINT32 Channel,UINT32 SamplesPerBuffer);

Possible values are: 0, 1, 2.SamplesPerBuffer[in] Specifies the number of I/Q sample sets in each buffer passed to the IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC2StreamCallback and IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback methods. The value has to be multiple of 64 greater than zero. If it is zero, the StartDDC2 method fails. If it is not a multiple of 64 the method rounds it up to nearest multiple of 64.
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Before StartDDC2 is used, the G35DDC device has to be turned on using the IG35DDCDevice::SetPower method and DDC1 streaming has to be started using the IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1 or IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC1Playback method, otherwise StartDDC2 fails.
If the DDC2 streaming for a given channel is already running, StartDDC2 restarts it except the streaming was previously started with the same SamplesPerBuffer parameter. In this case StartDDC2 does nothing. Restart of the DDC2 streaming stops audio streaming for the given channel. StartDDC2 does not restart audio streaming.
Use the IG35DDCDevice::StopDDC2 method to stop DDC2 streaming.
Decreasing the value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter decreases latency and may increase CPU usage. Increasing the value of the SamplesPerBuffer parameter increases latency and may decrease CPU usage.

This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.RMS[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the current signal level (RMS) in Volts. This parameter can be NULL if the application does not require this information.
Return value
If the method succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
If the method fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
DDC2 streaming has to be active (started using the IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC2 method) before calling of GetSignalLevel, otherwise the returned peak and RMS signal levels are zero.
Signal level is evaluated from the signal after the demodulator filter and before the notch filter (see block diagram), the signal is selected by the demodulator filter.
Signal level is evaluated for each buffer processed by the demodulator filter. Buffer size (signal level evaluation rate) is given by the SamplesPerBuffer parameter of the IG35DDCDevice::StartDDC2 method.
The IG35DDCDeviceCallback::G35DDC_DDC2PreprocessedStreamCallback callback method provides signal level for each buffer passed to the callback, i.e. for each buffer used in signal level evaluation. This provides a way to get signal level from each processed buffer without the need for pulling it using GetSignalLevel.
To convert RMS signal level in Volts to power in dBm use the following formulas:
P[W] = (VRMS)2 / R = (VRMS)2 / 50
P[dBm]= 10 * log10( P[W] * 1000 )
Where VRMS is RMS signal level in Volts obtained by GetSignalLevel, R is G35DDC receiver input impedance (50 Ω), P[W] is power in Watts and P[dBm] is power in dBm and 1000 is conversion coefficient W -> mW.
The following example shows how to obtain the current signal level in dBm from channel 0:
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> IG35DDCDevice *Device; //Interface of G35DDC device object, created using the CreateInstance function float P_dBm,V_RMS; Device->GetSignalLevel(0,NULL,&V_RMS); P_dBm=10.0*log10(V_RMS*V_RMS*(1000.0/50.0)); printf("Current signal level [RMS]: %.1f dBm\n",P_dBm);

Remarks
The value of the Frequency parameter is the center frequency of the demodulator relative to the center of the DDC2. The value can be negative.
The absolute frequency of the demodulator is given by the following formula:
faDEM[i] = fDDC1 + frDDC2[i] + frDEM[i]
Where faDEM[i] is the absolute center frequency of the demodulator of i-th channel in Hz, fDDC1 is the center frequency of the DDC1 in Hz (set using the IG35DDCDevice::SetDDC1Frequency method), frDDC2[i] is the relative center frequency of DDC2 of i-th channel in Hz (set using the IG35DDCDevice::SetDDC2Frequency) and frDEM[i] is relative center frequency of the demodulator of i-th channel in Hz (set using SetDemodulatorFrequency).
The absolute center frequency of the demodulator is the real-world frequency that you are listening to.
Use the IG35DDCDevice::GetDemodulatorFrequency method to determine the current relative center frequency of the demodulator for the given channel.
The following example shows four methods of how to set the absolute demodulator center frequency of the channel 0 to 11.01 MHz:

IG35DDCDeviceCallback interface is an interface of application-defined object that implements methods of the interface. The object is used to receive streamed buffers from the G35DDC device object. See IG35DDCDevice::SetCallback.
Each method of the interface is called in context of thread created by the API. If some shared data are accessed inside callback methods, it is recommended to use a mutual-exclusion synchronization method. The application should not call any G35DDC API function/method from inside method of this interface, otherwise it can cause deadlock or the application can enter an unpredictable state.
