1.2. ADVField/Hydra DOS Software
The following DOS programs/files are included on the ADVField/Hydra software distribution
disk (CD-ROM). These programs are mostly self-explanatory. To learn about program use, enter
the name at the DOS prompt. If the program requires command line parameters, a help screen
will show the required inputs and their format.
•
ADF.EXE
- Real-time data acquisition program (Section 2).
•
ADFSX.EXE
– Same as
ADF
, but for computers without a math co-processor (Section 2).
•
GETCTL.EXE
