Programming choices for DA&C cards: You may use Advantech applica-
tion software such as Advantech DLL driver. On the other hand,
advanced users are allowed another option for register-level program-
ming, although not recommended due to its laborious and time-consum-
ing nature.
DLL Driver
The Advantech DLL Drivers software is included on the companion CD-
ROM at no extra charge. It also comes with all the Advantech DA&C
cards. Advantech's DLL driver features a complete I/O function library to
help boost your application performance. The Advantech DLL driver for
Windows 95/98/NT/2000 works seamlessly with development tools such
as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Inprise C++ Builder and Inprise Delphi.
Register-level Programming
Register-level programming is reserved for experienced programmers
who find it necessary to write codes directly at the level of device regis-
ters. Since register-level programming requires much effort and time, we
recommend that you use the Advantech DLL drivers instead. However, if
register-level programming is indispensable, you should refer to the rele-
vant information in
Appendix C, Register Structure and Format , or to the
example codes included on the companion CD-ROM.
