Support Software

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

Driver Software Package

API-PAC(W32)

(Bundled)

API-PAC(W32) is the library software that provides the commands for CONTEC hardware products in

the form of Windows standard Win32 API functions (DLL). It makes it easy to create high-speed

application software taking advantage of the CONTEC hardware using various programming languages
that support Win32 API functions, such as Visual Basic and Visual C/C++.

It can also be used by the installed diagnosis program to check hardware operations.

CONTEC provides download services (at http://www.contec.co.jp/en/) to supply the updated drivers and
differential files.

For details, read Help on the bundled CD-ROM or visit the CONTEC’s Web site.

< Operating environment >

Windows XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98, etc..

Adaptation language

Visual C/C++, Borland C++, Visual Basic, etc..

Others

Each piece of library software requires 20 megabytes of free hard disk space.
