Step 1 Installing the Software
This section describes how to install the Driver libraries.
Before installing the hardware on your PC, install the Driver libraries from the bundled
API-PAC(W32) CD-ROM.
The following description assumes the operating system as Windows XP. Although some user
interfaces are different depending on the OS used, the basic procedure is the same.
About the driver to be used
Two analog I/O drivers are available: API-AIO(WDM) and API-AIO(98/PC)W95/NT.
API-AIO(WDM) is a new driver to perform analog input/output under Windows.
API-AIO(WDM) was developed to improve the conventional product version of API-AIO(98/PC) in the
ease of use and functionality.
It is advisable to use API-AIO(WDM) for you to use an analog I/O device. API-AIO(WDM) will
support new OSs and devices in the future but will not support Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, ISA bus.
Use API-AIO(98/PC) if your operating environment contains such an unsupported piece of software or
hardware.
Check the following selection guide to easily select the driver to be used.
