1.6 Software Support

The PCM-3718H/3718HG comes with a powerful and easy-to-use
software driver. This driver makes application programming much
easier, especially when you use sophisticated features like interrupt or
DMA data transfer.

For building up a high performance Human Machine Interface (HMI),
you may need other supporting software beside our included driver to
the PCM-3718/3718HG. Please consult your representa-
tive for appropriate software packages.

GeniDAQ

GeniDAQ is a Windows-based data acquisition, control, analysis and
presentation development software package. In addition to typical
Human Machine Interface (HMI) functions, GeniDAQ features a Visual
Basic programming environment, and it provides numerous graphical
control and display icons to assist you in developing user’s HMI.

ActiveDAQ

ActiveDAQ is a collection of add-on ActiveX Control which provides
an easy-to-use property sheet interface for configuring analog/digital
input/output, counter/frequency, high-speed data acquisition and
controls. You can use ActiveX control in Visual Basic, Delphi, Visual
C++ development environments for Windows 95/98/NT.

LabVIEW Driver

LabVIEW Driver supports National Instruments LabVIEW
4.1/5.0 and runs in Microsoft Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0
environments.
