Once compiled and linked, an executable file (.EXE) and object file (.OBJ) are created in the current directory. You execute the program by typing and entering the file name (with the .EXE extension).

Compiling in the Integrated Environment

You can compile, link, and run your C programs from the Microsoft®

QuickC© or Turbo C ++© integrated environments. To do so, add:

program_name.C

CLHPIB.LIB

to the program list (under the "Make" menu) in the Microsoft® QuickC© environment. Under ’Environment’ in the "Options" menu, include paths to the header files and external CLHPIB.LIB library. For example:

Include Files Directory: [c:\qc2\include]

Library Files Directory: [c:\qc2\lib]

In the Turbo C++© environment, add the items:

program_name.C

TCHHPIB.LIB

to the project (under the "Project" menu). Under ’Directories ...’ in the "Options" menu, include paths to the header files and external TCHHPIB.LIB library. For example:

Include Directories

C:\TC\INCLUDE

Library Directories

C:\TC\LIB

C Program Format The general format of the C language programs on the example programs disk is shown in the program listings at the end of this chapter. Generally, the program flow is:

reset and clear the digitizer

configure the digitizer

check for configuration errors

trigger the digitizer and retrieve the readings
