Chapter 6
Planning Your Application Program
6-1 Introduction After completing the system configuration, you can
begin to plan the application program. This chapter introduces two
programming tools for users to execute system data acquisition and
control. The DLL drivers and command sets provide a friendly
interface between your applica- tions and ADAM-5000/TCP Series
system.
6-2 DLL (Dynamic Link Library) Driver The Dynamic Link
Library (DLL) enables you to quickly and easily write Windows
applications for ADAM-5000/TCP Series systems. The library sup-
ports Borland C, Delphi, Visual C++, and Visual Basic. Since
ADAM-5000/TCP systems communicate with a host computer through
Ethernet, no additional driver needs to be installed. The DLL includes all
necessary function calls to utilize the ADAM-5000/TCP Series systems
to their fullest extent. In the same path with “ADAM 5000TCP
Series”after completing S/W installa- tion, you’ll find the relational
example files for each kind of programming languages after setup the
Windows Utility program. You can customize the source code to create
your own tailor-made ADAM-5000/TCP Series setup program or
monitoring system.
