4. Software Programming Overview
This chapter gives you an overview of the software programming
choices available and a quick reference to source code examples that
can help you during programming. After following the instructions
given in Chapter 2, it is hoped that you feel comfortable enough to
proceed further.
Programming choices for DAS cards:
You may use Advantech application software such as the Advantech
DLL driver to program your DAS cards. Advanced users may also
wish to choose register-level programming, although this is not
recommended due to its laborious and time-consuming nature.
4.1 Programming Choices
DLL Driver
The Advantech DLL Drivers software is included on the companion
CD-ROM. It also comes with all Advantech DAS cards. Advantech' s
DLL driver features a complete I/O function library to help boost your
application performance. The Advantech DLL driver for Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP works seamlessly with development tools such as
Visual C++, Visual Basic, Borland C++ Builder and Borland Delphi.
