SOFTWARE UTILITIES
3.1.Introduction
Unpack the software from the
The Software utilities contain simple DOS routines in both C, QBASIC and Windows DLL / LIB (16bit only) for use with Visual Basic and Microsoft C++.
These utilities can be used for setup the PICA and to perform basic communications.

Figure 2.0 Typical Project Arrangement.
Figure 2.0 shows a typical C project, Calibre UK Ltd have produced the library files, SPICA.LIB, MPICA.LIB, CPICA.LIB and LPICA.LIB, which contains all the low level functions required to interface to the adapter via the parallel port. These libraries cover the standard memory models, the library appropriate to the memory model of your project will require linking with the object files.
