Step 1 Installing the Software
This section describes how to install the Driver libraries.
Before installing the hardware on the PC, install the driver library from the API-PAC(W32)
CD-ROM provided with the board.
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.
Which Driver to Use
CONTEC has two analog I/O drivers: API-AIO(WDM) and API-AIO(98/PC).
API-AIO(WDM) is a new driver for analog I/O under Windows.
This driver was developed to be easier to use and to provide additional functions above those provided
by the previous API-AIO(98/PC) driver.
Please use the API-AIO(WDM) with this board. API-AIO(98/PC) is not supported.
