Windows

Acromag provides software products (sold separately) to facilitate the
development of Windows

applications interfacing with AcroPack modules.
This software (model APSW-API-WIN) consists of low-level drivers and
Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) that are compatible with a number of
programming environments. The DLL functions provide a high-level interface
to boards eliminating the need to perform low-level reads/writes of registers,
and the writing of interrupt handlers.
