Sample Code
CPP Source File: DarlingtonCDSample.cpp
long Initialize( )
{
// Init -- I/O Port -- Standard Configuration Register Address for PCI
Devices
m_nIOConf = 0x0CF8;
// Read -- I/O Port -- If these defaults are left unchanged, errors will be
reported
m_nIOPort = 0; // R/W port for solenoid bits and status
m_nIOPort_select = 0; //R/W port for selecting GPIO Input/Output config
m_nDrawerNumber = 1; //Default
m_bPortDrvr = FALSE;
// determine if OS is WIN95 or WINNT
if (GetVersion() < 0x80000000)
