About Software

About Software for Windows

The digital input / output for the driver, provides functions to perform the following functions :

The board can store digital signals and detects patterns at a sampling rate of 20 MHz.
(pattern input)

The board can be used as a 20-MHz digital pattern generator. (pattern output)

The direction of digital input/output is switchable.

For details, refer to the help file.

Accessing the Help File

The method to use in accessing the help file varies slightly depending on the version of the driver (the

development environment) that is installed.

From the Start menu, click "CONTEC API-PAC(W32)" - "API-TOOL(WDM) HELP".
