Once a task has initialised itself successfully, it can open communications with another
initialised task by using ams_path()
, specifying the name by which the other task is registered.
The path number returned can then be used for further communications with the other
task.
A short transaction consisting of a connection request message and an acknowledgement from the
slave task is carried out. If the slave task is waiting to receive a command (see Section 8), the
acknowledgement is sent automatically from within ams_receive()
. The acknowledgement is
expected within MESSYS__INIT_WAIT_TIME
(currently 30000) milliseconds.
