{% tab title="C/C++ Declare" %}

```cpp
int _stdcall icsneoGetFireSettings(void * hObject, SFireSettings *pSettings, int iNumBytes);
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Visual Basic .NET Declare" %}

```vbnet
Public Declare Function icsneoGetFireSettings Lib “icsneo40.dll” (ByVal hObject As IntPtr, ByRef pSettings As SFireSettings , ByVal iNumBytes As Int32) As Int32
```

{% endtab %}

```csharp
[DllImport(“icsneo40.dll”)] public static extern Int32 icsneoSetFireSettings(IntPtr hObject, ref SFireSettings pSettings, Int32 iNumBytes, Int32 bSaveToEEPROM);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**Parameters**

hObject

\[in] Specifies the driver object created by [OpenNeoDevice](https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/basic-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/openneodevice-method-intrepidcs-api).

pSettings

\[out] Pointer to an [SFireSettings](https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/structures-types-and-defines-overview-intrepidcs-api/setting-structures-overview-intrepidcs-api/sfiresettings-structure) structure.

iNumBytes

\[in] This value is always the size, in bytes, of the [SFireSettings](https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/structures-types-and-defines-overview-intrepidcs-api/setting-structures-overview-intrepidcs-api/sfiresettings-structure) structure.

**Return Values**

Returns 1 if successful, 0 if an error occurred. [GetLastAPIError](https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/error-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/getlastapierror-method-intrepidcs-api) must be called to obtain the specific error. The errors that can be generated by this function are:

NEOVI\_ERROR\_DLL\_NEOVI\_NO\_RESPONSE = 75

**Remarks**

After getting the current settings, you may change the parameters defined in the [SFireSettings](https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/structures-types-and-defines-overview-intrepidcs-api/setting-structures-overview-intrepidcs-api/sfiresettings-structure) structure and write the settings back to the neoVI Fire using [SetFireSettings](https://docs.intrepidcs.com/neovi-api/win32-api-overview-intrepidcs-api/device-settings-functions-overview-intrepidcs-api/neovi-fire-intrepidcs-api/setfiresettings-method-intrepidcs-api).

### Examples

```cpp
SFireSettings FireReadSettings;
int iNumberOfBytes;
int iResult;

//Get the settings
iNumberOfBytes=sizeof(SFireSettings);
iResult = icsneoGetFireSettings(m_hObject, &FireReadSettings, iNumberOfBytes);
if(iResult == 0)
{
    MessageBox::Show("Problem reading FIRE configuration");
    return;
}
```

{% tab title="C# Example" %}

```csharp
//Declared at form level and previously open with a call to OpenNeoDevice
IntPtr m_hObject; //handle for device,
SFireSettings FireReadSettings= new SFireSettings();
int iNumberOfBytes;
int iResult;

//Get the settings
iNumberOfBytes = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(FireReadSettings);
iResult = icsNeoDll.icsneoGetFireSettings(m_hObject,ref FireReadSettings, iNumberOfBytes);
if (iResult == 0)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Problem reading FIRE configuration");
    return;
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Visual Basic .NET Example" %}

```vbnet
Private m_hObject As IntPtr '// Declared at form level and previously open with a call to OpenNeoDevice

Dim FireReadSettings As SFireSettings
Dim iNumberOfBytes As Integer
Dim iResult As Integer

'//Get the settings
iNumberOfBytes = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(FireReadSettings)
iResult = icsneoGetFireSettings(m_hObject, FireReadSettings, iNumberOfBytes)
If iResult = 0 Then
    MsgBox("Problem reading FIRE configuration")
    Exit Sub
End If
