PCIe-8154
MotionCreatorPro
is a Windows-based application development
software package included with the PCIe-8154.
MotionCreatorPro
is useful for debugging a motion control system during the design
phase of a project. An on-screen display lists all installed axes
information and I/O signal status of the PCIe-8154.
Windows programming libraries are also provided for C++ compil-
ers and Visual Basic. Sample programs are provided to illustrate
the operations of the functions.
