Programming
For programming the serial boards of type ME-9000/9100/9300
and ME-90 PC/104-Plus no board specific programming inter-
faces are required. The ports can be accessed as COM ports by
the standard API under Windows.
For programming the digital I/O and counter section of the ME-
9000 and ME-90 PC/104-Plus a special ME-9000 multi-I/O driver
is available for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and NT4.0. See the
following chapters.
4.1 ME-9000 Multi-I/O Driver
The ME-9000 multi-I/O driver (ME9000MIO) provides an extensive
function library for programming the digitalI/O lines and the counter
of the ME-9000 and ME-90 PC/104-Plus. The function reference
can be found in chapter 5 on page 69.
The system driver consists of the following components:
WDM driver (me9000mio.sys) for
Windows 98/Me/2000/XP.
Kernel driver (me9000mio.sys) for Windows NT.
API-DLL (me9000mio.dll) for Visual C++ and Delphi.
API-DLL (me9000mio.dll) for Visual Basic.
To make it easy for you we provide simple demo programs and small
projects with source code to help understanding of the functions
and how to include them into your project. These demo programs
can be found within the ME Software Developer Kit (ME-SDK),
which is installed to the directory
C:Meilhaus\ me-sdk
by default.
Please read the notes in the corresponding README-files.
