Overview
Supporting Software
DriverLINX software is supplied by Keithley with the PDISO-8 board.
DriverLINX provides convenient interfaces to configure and set I/O bits
without register-level programming.
Most importantly, however, DriverLINX supports those programmers
who wish to create custom applications using Visual C/C++, Visual Basic,
or Delphi. DriverLINX accomplishes foreground and background tasks to
perform data acquisition. The software includes memory and data buffer
management, event triggering, extensive error checking, and context
sensitive online help.
More specifically, DriverLINX provides application developers a
standardized interface to over 100 services for creating foreground and
background tasks for the following:
●
Analog input and output
●
Digital input and output
●
Time and frequency measurement
●
Event counting
●
Pulse output
●
Period measurement
In addition to basic I/O support, DriverLINX also provides:
●
Built-in capabilities to handle memory and data buffer management
●
A selection of starting and stopping trigger events, including
pre-triggering, mid-point triggering and post-triggering protocols
●
Extensive error checking
●
Context-sensitive on-line help system
DriverLINX is essentially hardware independent, because its portable
APIs work across various operating systems. This capability eliminates
unnecessary programming when changing operating system platforms.
