1 Introducing the Universal Library Congratulations and thank you for selecting the Universal Library (UL). We believe it is the most comprehensive and easiest-to-use data acquisition software interface available anywhere. As easy as Universal Library is to use, significant documentation and explanation is still required to help new users get going, and to allow previous users to take advantage of all the package's powerful features.
PAGE 11

3 Getting Started The Universal Library is callable from many languages and environments, including Visual Basic®, Visual C++, Borland C++ Builder, and Delphi. A list of the languages currently supported by the Universal Library is provided on page 11. Additionally, the UL is now callable from any language supported by the .NET framework. This chapter describes how to use the library from each of the languages. The first section of the chapter describes details of the library that apply to all languages.
PAGE 15
4 Universal Library Description and Use The Universal Library consists of a set of functions that are callable from your program. These functions are grouped according to their purpose. All of the groups except for Miscellaneous are based on which type of device they are used with.
PAGE 16
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library Description and Use Error handling Most library functions return an error code. If no errors occurred during a library call, 0 (or NOERRORS) is returned as the error code. Otherwise, it is set to one of the codes listed in the Universal Library Function Reference "Error Codes" chapter. This document is available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-functions.pdf.
PAGE 17
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library Description and Use If your processor is less than a 150 MHz Pentium and you need an acquisition speed in excess of 200 kilohertz (kHz), use the NOCALIBRATEDATA option to a turn off real-time software calibration and save CPU time. After the acquisition is run, calibrate the data with cbACalibrateData(). Visual Basic for Windows To use the Universal Library with Visual Basic, include the Universal Library declaration file CBW.BAS in your program.
PAGE 18
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library Description and Use Delphi example programs A complete set of Delphi example programs is included in the DELPHI folder of the Universal Library installation directory. Each program illustrates the use of one Universal Library function from within a Delphi program. The .PAS files contain the programs. The corresponding .DPR file is the Project file used to build the program in a 32-bit Delphi environment. In 32-bit Delphi environments use the cbw32.
PAGE 19
5 Universal Library for .NET Description & Use Programming the Universal Library API is now available through the various languages supported by the Microsoft .NET framework. All .NET applications access the 32-bit Windows Universal Library (CBW32.DLL) through the MccDaq .NET assembly (MCCDAQ.DLL). The MccDaq assembly provides an interface that exposes each Universal Library function that is callable from the .NET language. The Universal Library for .
PAGE 20
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library for .NET Description & Use MccDaq appears under the References folder in the Solution Explorer window. The MccDaq Namespace is now referenced by your Visual Studio .NET project. General UL for .NET language interface description The MccDaq Namespace provides an interface that exposes each Universal Library for .NET method as a member of a class with virtually the same parameters set as their UL counterparts.
PAGE 21
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library for .NET Description & Use The following code examples demonstrate how to create a new instance of the MccBoard class with the board number passed to it: Visual Basic C# Private DaqBoard As MccDaq.MccBoard DaqBoard = New MccDaq.MccBoard(BoardNumber) private MccDaq.MccBoard DaqBoard; DaqBoard = new MccDaq.

Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library for .NET Description & Use MCC classes To use board-specific Universal Library functions inside a .NET application, you use methods of the appropriate class. UL for .NET classes are listed in Table 3. Table 3. UL for .NET Board Classes UL for .NET Class Description MccBoard ErrorInfo BoardConfig CtrConfig DioConfig ExpansionConfig GlobalConfig MccService DataLogger Access board-related Universal Library functions.
PAGE 27
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library for .NET Description & Use If you are programming inside of Visual Studio .NET, the types that are available for a particular enumerated value display automatically when you type code: Error handling For .NET applications, the return value for the Universal Library functions is an object (ErrorInfo), rather than a single integer value. The ErrorInfo object contains both the numeric value for the error that occurred, as well as the associated error message.
PAGE 28
Universal Library User's Guide Universal Library for .NET Description & Use Data Logger methods In 32-bit Windows applications, you access information contained in binary log files by calling the API functions. In .NET applications, you access this information by calling the DataLogger class and its methods. The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the name of the first binary log file using the cbLogGetFileName() function and GetFileName() method.

6 Analog Input Boards Introduction All boards that have analog input support the cbAIn()/AIn() and cbAInScan()/AInScan() functions, except expansion boards, which only support cbAIn(). Boards released after the printing of this manual are described in Readme files contained on the Universal Library disk. When hardware-paced A/D conversion is not supported, cbAInScan()/AInScan() loops through software paced conversions. The scan will execute at the maximum speed possible.
