Appendix A: Sample Programs

Sample programs are provided on diskette with the AOBx/16. Sample Program #1 demonstrates
general use of the card. This program prompts you for a voltage, calculates the closest actual
voltage based on the 16-bit resolution of the DAC, and then programs the card to output this volt-
age. Sample Program #1 is provided in QuickBASIC, C, and Pascal.
Sample Program #2 will generate a sine, triangle, or sawtooth output waveform. This program is
provided in QuickBASIC, C, and Pascal. A sample commented listing of the C language version is
as follows (but refer to disk copies for the latest examples):
SAMPLE 2.C
This sample program will generate three different waveforms; sine, triangle, and sawtooth. You
have the choice of base address, DAC number, and the number of points per cycle.
The base address entered during program execution should correspond to that set up on the card.
