Chapter 3
Programming and Developing Applications
After following the installation instructions in Chapter 2, your board should now be installed and ready
for use. Although the board is part of the larger DAS family, there is no correspondence among registers
for different boards. Software written at the register level for other DAS models will not function
correctly with the PCI-DAS08 board.
Programming languages
Measurement Computing’s Universal Library™ provides access to board functions from a variety of
Windows programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the
example programs for Visual Basic
or any other language, refer to the
Universal Library User's Guide
(available on our web site at
www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-user-guide.pdf
)
.
Packaged application programs
Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE
, Labtech Notebook™, and HP-VEE™, now
have drivers for your board. If the package you own does not have drivers for the board, please fax or e-
mail the package name and the revision number from the install disks. We will research the package for
you and advise how to obtain drivers.
Some application drivers are included with the Universal Library package, but not with the application
package. If you have purchased an application package directly from the software vendor, you may need
to purchase our Universal Library and drivers. Please contact us by phone, fax or e-mail:
Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.

Register-level programming
You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above to
control your board. Only experienced programmers should try register-level programming.
If you need to program at the register level in your application, you can find more information in the
Register Map for the PCI-DAS08 Series
(available at

DAS08.pdf
