installed DriverLINX or enter “<drive>:/DRVLNX/LEARNDL” in
the
Command Line
edit box. The Command Line edit box is activated
by selecting the

option. <drive> is the letter of the hard disk
drive where DriverLINX is installed.
3. Immediately after loading Learn DL, the Open DriverLINX DLL
dialog box appears. Select the name of the hardware–specific DLL
from the list for your DAS-1800 Series board. The name is an

edit box is not correct, type the
correct value into the box. You may enter the address in decimal or
hexadecimal using the c–notation for hex, (that is, 768 decimal =
0x300 hexadecimal).
9. Choose the correct options for the
Analog, Digital,

Counter/Timer Sections
by first clicking on the appropriate radio
button in the middle of the dialog box and then completing the group
of dialog fields in the lower third of the dialog box. Be sure to click

groups to see all the dialog fields.
