The PC27E is supplied with a 3

2
inch diskette containing Windows DLLs with Microsoft Visual Basic
example programs, and a Borland Turbo Pascal DOS demonstration program. See Section 2.4 to
find out how to install the software onto your hard disk.
6.1 Windows DLLs and Visual Basic Example Programs
Having installed the software, you will find a number of Windows Dynamic Link Libraries
(DLLs) each of which supports one basic Input/Output function available with the Amplicon
low-cost Data Acquisition boards. Each DLL comes with a Visual Basic example program,
and all the source files for these Visual Basic programs are provided. Any number of these
programs can be run concurrently to build up the system represented by one or more of the
boards being used.
The default installation for the PC27E creates four new icons in the ‘Amplicon Introductory
DLLs’ folder/Program Manager group:
AD27DEMO - Visual Basic analog input demo program
TC53DEMO - Visual Basic timer/counter demo program
