Programming and Developing Applications
After following the installation instructions, your PCI-DAS4020/12 is ready for use. Although the board is
part of the larger DAS family, there is no correspondence between registers. Software written at the register
level for other DAS models will not work with the PCI-DAS4020/12.
Programming languages
Measurement Computing's Universal Library® provides access to board functions from a variety of
Windows programming languages. If you are planning to write programs, or would like to run the example
programs for Visual Basic
(available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-ul-user-guide.pdf) .
Packaged applications programs
Many packaged application programs, such as SoftWIRE
have drivers for your board. If the package you own does not have drivers for the board, 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 obtain drivers.
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 by phone, fax or e-mail:
Phone: 508-946-5100 and follow the instructions for reaching Tech Support.

Register level programming
You should use the Universal Library or one of the packaged application programs mentioned above to
control your board. Only experienced programmers should try register-level programming. To program at
the register level in your application, refer to the Register Map for the PCI-DAS4020/12 Series (available at
www.mccdaq.com/registermaps/RegMapPCI-DAS4020-12.pdf.
or any other language, please refer to the Universal Library User's Guide
