3.1 DOS Lib
Microsoft provides standard Win32 APIs for Windows 9x/NT/2K/XP/2003
users to access the COM ports. But DOS did not have such standard APIs, thus
ICP DAS provides library functions under DOS for the VXC cards. Which
provides easy programming interfaces and sample programs (include source
code) that written in Turbo C.
These sample programs (include source code) show you …
1. To find out all VXC cards.
2. To get the I/O address and IRQ number of the card.
3. To get the Board ID of the card.
4. To Send/receive data to/from the COM ports.
5. To control the LED On/Off of the card.
3.1.1 Installation
Please refer to the “
Release Note
” paper that shows you the location of the
software on the CD. Run the “
install.bat
” batch file to install the software into
your c: disk.
If you like to install the software into a different location, you can specify the

” file. For example:

Or, you can copy the folder into your project directory manually.
