Providing Hardware Information
This chapter describes how an adaptor provides the toolbox engine with information

completing the tasks outlined in this chapter, you will be able to create your adaptor
DLL, register it with the toolbox, and see it included in the list of available adaptors
returned by imaqhwinfo.
