1.5 Device Drivers Programming Roadmap

This section will provide a roadmap to demonstrate how to build an appli- cation from scratch using Advantech Device Drivers with your favorite development tools such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi and C++ Builder. The step-by-step instructions on how to build your own applica- tions using each development tool will be given in the Device Drivers Manual. Moreover, a rich set of example source code is also given for your reference.

1.5.1 Programming Tools

Programmers can develop application programs with the following tools:

•Visual C++

•Visual Basic

•Delphi

•C++ Builder

For instructions on how to begin programming works in each develop- ment tool, Advantech offers a Tutorial Chapter in the Device Drivers Manual for your reference. Please refer to the corresponding sections in this chapter of the Device Drivers Manual to begin your programming efforts. You can also look at the example source code provided for each programming tool, since they can get you very well oriented.

The Device Drivers Manual can be found on the companion CD-ROM. Or if you have already installed the Device Drivers on your system, The Device Drivers Manual can be readily accessed through the Start button:

Start/Programs/Advantech Automation/Device Manager /Device Driver's Manual

The example source codes could be found under the corresponding instal- lation folder such as the default installation path:

\Program Files\Advantech\ADSAPI\Examples

For information about using other function groups or other development tools, please refer to the Creating Windows 2000/XP Application with Device Drivers chapter and the Function Overview chapter on the Device Drivers Manual.
