Device Drivers Programming Roadmap | Advantech PCI-1784 instruction

1.5 Device Drivers Programming Roadmap

This section will provide you a roadmap to demonstrate how to build an application 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 applications using each development tool will be given in the Device Drivers Manual. Moreover, a rich set of example source codes are also given for your reference.

Programming Tools

Programmers can develop application programs with their favorite development tools:

❏Visual C++

❏Visual Basic

❏Delphi

❏C++ Builder

For instructions on how to begin programming works in each development tool, Advantech offers a Tutorial Chapter in the Device Drivers Manual for your reference. Please refer to the corresponding sections in this chapter on the Device Drivers Manual to begin your programming efforts. You can also take a look at the example source codes 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 Driver V2.0/Device Driver Manual

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