Software Overview 

Advantech offers a rich set of DLL drivers, third-party driver support and application
software to help fully exploit the functions of your PCIE-1816/1816H card: 

Device Drivers (on the companion DVD-ROM) 

LabVIEW driver 

Advantech DAQ NAVi

Data logger 

Programming choices for DA&C cards 

You may use Advantech application software such as Advantech Device Drivers. On
the other hand, advanced users can use register-level programming, although this is
not recommended due to its laborious and time-consuming nature. 

DAQNavi Software

Advantech  DAQNavi  software  includes  device  drivers  and  SDK  which  features  a
complete I/O function library to help boost your application performance. This soft-
ware is included in the companion DVD-ROM at no extra charge and comes with all
Advantech DA&C cards. The Advantech DAQNavi software for Windows XP/7/8 
(desktop mode) works seamlessly with development tools such as Visual Studio .Net,
Visual C++, Visual Basic and Borland Delphi.

DAQNavi Device Driver Programming Roadmap 

This section will provide you a roadmap to demonstrate how to build an application
from  scratch  using  Advantech  DAQNavi  Device  Driver  with  your  favorite  develop-
ment  tools  such  as  Visual  Studio  .Net,  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 Device Drivers Manual. Moreover, a set of
example source code is also given for your reference. 

Programming Tools 

Programmers  can  develop  application  programs  with  their  favorite  development
tools: 

Visual Studio.Net 

Visual C++ and Visual Basic 

Delphi 

C++ Builder 

For  instructions  on  how  to  begin  programming  works  in  each  development  tool,
Advantech offers a Tutorial Chapter in the 

DAQNavi SDK Manual

 for your reference.

Please refer to the corresponding sections in this chapter on the 

DAQNavi SDK Man-

ual 

to begin your programming efforts. You can also look at the example source code

provided for each programming tool to get you quickly oriented. 
The 

DAQNavi SDK Manual

 can be found on the companion DVD-ROM. Alternatively,

if you have already installed the Device Drivers on your system, The 

DAQNavi SDK

Manual

 can be readily accessed through the Start button: 

Start/Programs/Advantech Automation/DAQNavi/DAQNavi Manuals/DAQNavi
