56<H2>Description</H2>
57<p>
58To the application-created buffer, copies the controller data stored in the internal buffer by the KPAD library.
59</p>
60
61<p>
62Regardless of the number of sampling-completed data in the KPAD library, the number of stored data will always be  specified by <SPAN class="argument">count</SPAN>. The top most element will be the newest sampling data.
63</p>
64
65<p>
66<B>Note:</B>This function will not decrement the &quot;number of sampling-completed data&quot; counter in the KPAD library. <a href="./KPADRead.html"><CODE>KPADRead</CODE></a> function decrements the counter to prevent repeat use of data already processed.
67</p>
68
69<p>
70Using the <a href="./KPADRead.html"><CODE>KPADRead</CODE></a> function return value immediately preceding this will give a number close to the actual sampling-completed data count. However, a controller data sampling (interrupt) may occur after the <a href="./KPADRead.html"><CODE>KPADRead</CODE></a> function call. To use the exact same number of data or to obtain the same data processed by the immediately preceding <a href="./KPADRead.html"><CODE>KPADRead</CODE></a> function, <a href="./KPADRead.html"><CODE>KPADRead</CODE></a> and this function need to be called in interrupt-prohibited state.
71</p>
72
73<p>
74The application should reference the copied data through the following method. For error status and controller type definitions, see the description of the <a href="../wpad/WPADStatus.html"><CODE>WPADStatus</CODE></a> structure.
75</p>
76
77<ul>
78<li>First, check the error status (member <SPAN class="argument">u.core.err</SPAN>). The offset of this member is shared and can be checked, regardless of whether the external extension controller is connected.
79<li>If that value is <code>WPAD_ERR_NONE</code>, a sampling-completed data is stored in the <SPAN class="argument">u</SPAN> member. Even if the value is not <code>WPAD_ERR_NONE</code>, some of the data may be properly sampled.
80<li>Next, check the controller type (member <SPAN class="argument">u.core.dev</SPAN>). The offset of this member is also shared regardless of whether the external extension controller is connected.
81<li>Finally, if both the error status and the controller type have the expected values, check the data format (<SPAN class="argument">fmt</SPAN>) member. The <a href="../wpad/WPADGetDataFormat.html"><CODE>WPADGetDataFormat</CODE></a> function's return value at sampling is stored in a <code>u8</code> type.
82<li>Perform an appropriate processing based on the obtained error status, controller type, and data format. The error status, controller type, and data format may change for each element.
83</ul>
