int rm_open(int *alist);

• Prepare for reflective memory use. This function must be called before any other reflective memory activity is performed.

  alist should point to an int array with size RM_ARRAY_SIZE. The rm_open() function will fill in this array to provide a list of antenna numbers for which reflective memory cards are present in the crate. These numbers may be used to index the data structures returned by other reflective memory functions. The end of the list is indicated by the integer value RM_ANT_LIST_END.

• Returns RM_SUCCESS if successful. On failure, returns a code describing the error:

  RM_NO_SERVICE	There is no reflective memory service available
  RM_ALREADY_OPEN	Reflective memory operations have already been initialized with
  	rm_open()
  RM_ALLOC_TABLE_ERR	There was an error reading the allocation table
  RM_ALLOC_VERS	Allocation table version mismatch; reload the drivers
