4 SOFTWARE

We highly recommend that users take advantage of our Universal Library package's easy-to-use programming interfaces. However, if you are an experienced programmer, and wish to read and write directly to the board, we have provided a detailed register map in the next chapter.

4.1 UNIVERSAL LIBRARY

The Universal Library provides complete access to the PCI-DIO96 functions from a range of programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the example programs for Visual Basic or any other language, please turn now to the Universal Library manual.

4.2 PACKAGED APPLICATION PROGRAMS

Most packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE, DAS Wizard and HP-VEE have drivers for the PCI-DIO96. If the package you own does not appear to have drivers for the boards, 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 utilize the PCI-DIO96 boards with the driver available.

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 on this topic.
