and constants that can be used to develop the data
acquisition application. To add the file:

Item window appears, displaying a list of files in the cur-
rent directory.From the Project menu, select the Add
Existing Item command. The Add Existing Item window
appears, displaying a list of files in the current directory.
X Double-click on the DASK.vb file. If the file is not on the list,
make sure the list is displaying files from the correct direc-
tory. By default, the DASK.vb file is installed at
C:\ADLINK\PCIS-DASK\INCLUDE.
3. Develop the application. You can call the functions that
are declared in the file DASK.vb to perform data acquisi-
tion operations.
