6.0 Programming & Applications
Your PCI-DAS1602/16 is now installed and ready for use. Although the PCI-DAS1602/16 is
part of the larger DAS family, there is no correspondence between registers. Software written at
the register level for the other DAS's will not work with the PCI-DAS1602/16. This includes any
driver or library where the target board is other than a PCI-DAS1602/16.
6.1 Programming Languages
The UniversalLibrary provides complete access to the PCI-DAS1602/16
functions from a range of programming languages; both DOS and Windows. If you are planning
to write programs, or would like to run the example programs for Visual Basic or any other
language, please turn now to the UniversalLibrary manual.
VIX Components is a set of programming tools based on a DLL interface to Windows languages.
A set of VBX, OCX or ActiveX interfaces allows point and click construction of graphical
displays, analysis and control structures. Please see the catalog for a complete description of the
package.
6.2 Packaged Applications Programs
Many packaged application programs, such as DAS Wizard, Labtech Notebook and HP-VEE
now have drivers for the PCI-DAS1602/16. If the package you own does not appear to have
drivers for the PCI-DAS1602/16 please fax or e-mail the package name and the revision number
from the install disks. We will research the package for you and advise how to obtain
PCI-DAS1602/16 drivers.
Some application drivers are included with the Universal Library package, but not with the
Application package. If you have purchased an application package directly from the software
vendor, you may need to purchase our Universal Library and drivers. Please contact us for more
information on this topic.
