Support Software

You should use CONTEC support software according to your purpose and development environment.

Windows version of analog I/O driver

API-AIO(WDM)

[Stored on the bundled CD-ROM driver library API-USBP(WDM)]

It is the library software, and which supplies command of hardware produced by our company in the form of standard

Win32 API function (DLL). Using programming languages supporting Win32API functions, such as Visual Basic and

Visual C++ etc., you can develop high-speed application software with feature of hardware produced by our company.

In addition, you can verify the operation of hardware using Diagnostic programs.

< Operating environment >

Windows 7, Server 2008, Vista, XP, Server 2003 .etc

Adaptation language

Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#

.etc

You can download the updated version from the CONTEC’s Web site

(http://www.contec.com/product/device/apiusbp/). For more details on the supported OS, applicable language and new

information, please visit the CONTEC’s Web site.

Data Logger Software C-LOGGER

[Stored on the bundled CD-ROM driver library API-USBP(WDM)]

C-LOGGER is a data logger software program compatible with our analog I/O products. This program enables the

graph display of recorded signal data, zoom observation, file saving, and dynamic transfer to the spreadsheet software

“Excel”. No troublesome programming is required.

CONTEC provides download services (at http://www.contec.com/clogger) to supply the updated drivers.

For details, refer to the C-LOGGER Users Guide or our website.

< Operating Environment >

Windows 7, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2000

Data acquisition VI library for LabVIEW VI-DAQ (Available for downloading (free of charge) from
the CONTEC web site.)

This is a VI library to use in National Instruments LabVIEW.

VI-DAQ is created with a function form similar to that of LabVIEW's Data Acquisition VI, allowing you to use

various devices without complicated settings.

See http://www.contec.com/vidaq/ for details and download of VI-DAQ.
