5 PROGRAMMING & APPLICATIONS

Although the PCI-DAS1602/16 is part of the larger DAS family, there is no correspondence between

registers. Software written at the register level for the other DAS's will not work with the

PCI-DAS1602/16. This includes any driver or library where the target board is other than a

PCI-DAS1602/16.

5.1 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

The Universal Library provides complete access to the PCI-DAS1602/16 functions from a range of

programming languages; both DOS and Windows. If you are planning to write programs, or would like

to run the example programs for Visual Basic or any other language, please consider using the Universal

Library.

5.2 PACKAGED APPLICATIONS PROGRAMS

Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE, DAS Wizard, Labtech Notebook and HP-VEE

have drivers for the PCI-DAS1602/16. If the package you own does not appear to have drivers for the

PCI-DAS1602/16, 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 PCI-DAS1602/16 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 for more information.
