Chapter 5: Software
Several programs are provided to support the PAD128 Analog Input Card, and, also, to
help you to develop your application programs. These programs are on a CD or Floppy
that comes with your board.
Setup Program
The setup program (NTSETUP.EXE in the root of the installed directories) is used in
Windows NT only. This program will create the database entries in the system registry
required to allow NT to detect and install the card correctly. This program need only
be executed once per system.
Sample Programs
The sample programs are in forms suitable for use with DOS (Borland C 3.5 and Turbo
Pascal 7.0) and Windows 95/98/NT (C++Builder 3, Delphi 4.0, Visual C++ 5.0, and
Visual BASIC 5.0). Although the appearance of the sample changes depending on the
operating system and language, the basic functionality is similar:
The sample programs will acquire data from the analog inputs and display this data
onscreen. By attaching sensors or other voltage sources, you can quickly verify
operation of the card.
