PIO-96 User’s Manual
You do not program the registers of your PIO-96 board directly through Windows 95/98/NT.
Instead, you program register changes through the application programming interface (API) of
DriverLINX. DriverLINX is provided on the CD-ROM that comes with your board and should
now be installed on your system. (Refer to “Installation” on page 2-1.) Using DriverLINX, you
can program the board in Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi.
DriverLINX features are summarized under “Supporting software” on page 1-3. For detailed
information about DriverLINX in general and about programming with DriverLINX specifi-
cally, refer to your DriverLINX documentation.
