    TErrCode   Result;

    //
    // First open the labbCAN bus before any other action takes place
    //

    if (ERR_NOERR != Result)
    {
        // handle error properly here
        return Result;
    }

    // now we can retrieve device handles like axis system handles or controller
    // device handler
    // ...

    //
    // Start communication and give devices some time to enter the operational
    // state and to setup their communication properly
    //
    Result = LCB_Start();
    if (Result != ERR_NOERR)
    {
        // handle error properly here
        return Result;
    }


    Sleep(1000); // give devices some time to start up

    // now we are ready to use our devices
    return Result;
