Register-level programming is reserved for experienced programmers
who find it necessary to write codes directly at the level of device
registers. Since register-level programming requires much effort and
time, we recommend that you use the Advantech DLL drivers instead.
However, if register-level programming is indispensable, you should
refer to the relevant information in Appendix C, Register Structure and
Format , and/or to the example codes included on the companion
CD-ROM.
4.2 DLL Driver Programming Roadmap
This section will provide a roadmap to demonstrate how to build an
application from scratch using the Advantech DLL driver with your
favorite development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi
and C++ Builder. The step-by-step instructions on how to build your
own applications using each development tool will be given in the
DLL Drivers Manua l. Moreover, a rich set of example source codes
are also given for your reference.
