MEN Software
MDIS Low-Level Driver Packages: Most low-level drivers are distri-
buted under the GNU General Public License. They are normally
provided as source code. Most MDIS low-level driver packages are
free of charge.
Note on MEN MDIS drivers: The copyright of the GNU GPL does not
cover user programs that use the MDIS driver by standard MDIS API
calls—this is merely considered normal use of the driver, and does
not fall under the heading of "derived work".
Configuration Tool for Linux and VxWorks
The MDIS wizzard is a device manager for configuration of MEN
boards (under MDIS) and the corresponding parameters in a Linux
or Windows environment. It has a user-friendly "Windows-like" GUI
that allows for a fast and easy system configuration independent of
the platform (e.g. VMEbus or CompactPCI, PowerPC or Pentium...).
The MDIS wizzard can also be used for hardware settings (e.g. to
select resolution, amplification, signal conditioning mode etc. of an
M-Module with analog I/O channels). That way it is possible to
generate executable MDIS projects which can be loaded in the
application under Linux or VxWorks.
Plug&Play Tools for Windows 2000 / XP
Plug&Play Tool for Windows: If MEN boards are installed in a
Windows system (under MDIS), this new MDIS tool allows automa-
tic installation of the corresponding Windows drivers (Plug&Play).
Optionally, these drivers can also be installed manually. After that
the board parameters can be set in the Windows device manager.
